Emilia Romagna’s version of a Super Tuscan – the red that revolutionised Tuscany’s wines in the 1970s. It blends Bordeaux grapes with Sangiovese. From the superb Poderi dal Nespoli, this gorgeous, dense, cherry-rich red has savoury depths of oak.

A regular medal winner, this is an impressive blend of cherry fruit Sangiovese with Bordeaux varieties. It’s from the Tre Bichieri (the top award) cellar Poderi dal Nespoli that recently had a major investment injection and now has an amazing state of the art winery. They are a family affair run today by the fourth generation, Fabio and Celita Ravaioli, who aim to make Romagna a top destination for food and wine lovers. For this dense red the Cabernet and Merlot grapes were unusually left on the vine for an extra month to add a powerful layer of dark, chocolatey fruit. It’s a labour of love, aged in new and one year old barriques for 16 months. Open early and decant. Celita recommends serving with quail stuffed with morels or braised meats.

"A smooth, savoury wine with well rounded and rich flavour. Could drink this by the case load!" 5 Star Online Review
