What kind of wine is itSole Rosso by Enio Ottaviani is a structured red wine made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes. Classified as Romagna Sangiovese Superiore Riserva, this product stands out for its dry, full-bodied profile and particularly persistent taste. Careful vinification gives the wine a complex elegance, characterized by spicy overtones and toasted notes that blend harmoniously with a well-defined and intriguing mineral vein.Where it comes fromThis Romagna Sangiovese Superiore Riserva originates from an area influenced by the proximity of the Adriatic Sea, a feature that leaves a clear mark on the wine’s profile. The vines grow in loamy-clay soils and benefit from an ideal south and southeast exposure. The marine influence enriches the character of the grapes, offering the wine saline and mineral sensations that define its aromatic expression and sense of place.How it is producedProduction begins with hand harvesting, which is essential to carefully preserve the integrity of the grape clusters right from their arrival at the winery. Fermentation takes place in cement vats, a material ideal for ensuring constant thermal and technical stability throughout the process. The wine then matures in large barrels, a choice that allows a slow structural evolution and fully respects the grape variety’s identity without concealing its nuances.Tasting notesIn the glass, it shows a purple-red color, enriched by bright reflections that gradually verge towards garnet. The bouquet expresses intensity and elegance, opening with spicy notes finely blending with toasty hints. The palate is greeted by a dry entry, with a sip revealing a full-bodied and enveloping character. The finish is marked by a long-lasting aftertaste, able to return to the palate the mineral and savory traits typical of its origin.PairingsThe strong personality of this Riserva makes it the ideal companion for game dishes, red meats, and selections of flavorful cured meats. It also pairs beautifully with white meats prepared with rich sauces, ensuring a fine balance with intense flavors and spicy dressings. It offers a harmonious territorial combination when served alongside Romagna cuisine specialties, such as succulent tagliatelle al ragù, which creates a delightful interplay of flavors.When to serveThis red is designed for convivial moments when you want to bring a bottle of character and great balance to the table. Its long aging process makes it the right choice for important lunches and elaborate dinners, where it elegantly accompanies courses from the beginning to the end of the meal. Served in a structured menu, it is able to fully express its complexity and enhances gastronomic preparations with its dry and refined profile.
