Leonardo da Vinci 1502 Sangiovese Superiore Rocca di Cesena Riserva 2022

Leonardo da Vinci 1502 Sangiovese Superiore Rocca di Cesena Riserva 2022 is a characterful Romagna red inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s own observations from 1502. Blending Sangiovese with a touch of Syrah, it captures the richness and authenticity of Emilia-Romagna’s wine heritage in a style that feels both historical and distinctly modern.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep ruby hue with youthful brightness. The nose is generous and inviting, with ripe red cherry, blackberry, violet, spice, and a subtle earthy edge that reflects the character of Sangiovese and the added depth of Syrah. On the palate, this wine is medium- to full-bodied with soft, ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and smooth tannins that give it balance and drinkability. The finish should be warm and persistent, making it a wine that can be enjoyed now but also has the structure to develop further over the next few years.

Production
Sourced from Emilia-Romagna, this wine is shaped by the Romagna landscape, where vineyards benefit from a climate that supports full ripening while preserving freshness. The grapes are harvested with care to preserve their aromatic intensity and natural balance, then vinified to highlight Sangiovese’s signature fruit and structure, with Syrah adding extra roundness and spice.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine, especially good with pasta with ragù, grilled meats, roast chicken, cured meats, and aged cheeses. Serve it slightly below room temperature, around 16-18°C, and decant briefly if opening it young to let the aromas open up fully.

Producer
Cantine Leonardo da Vinci is a well-known Tuscan-Italian producer named in honor of one of Italy’s greatest figures, and it has built a strong reputation for wines that combine regional identity with broad appeal. While closely associated with Tuscany, the estate’s project-driven wines also celebrate other historic Italian wine areas, bringing attention to local traditions and quality craftsmanship.
