Tenuta La Viola "P. Honorii" Romagna Sangiovese Riserva Bertinoro '16

Year in and year out this is one of the finest Romagna Sangiovese around. Bertinoro is one of Romagna's most beautiful palaces. Stefano Gabellini is so proud of his heritage and his winery, located just outside the village. They have been farming organically since 1999, and it shows in the depth and complexity of the wine. This is the top wine Sangiovese produced at Tenuta La Viola, coming from a one-hectare parcel of old vines. This undergoes 21 days of maceration in stainless steel and is aged in a combination of 3,000- and 500-liter oak barrels. It spends 16 months in bottle after barrel. Decant this wine and drink it now, or let it age for several years. Only 5,000 bottles produced. Exceptional!
