Tenuta Santodeno Sangiovese Appassimento 2025

Tenuta Santodeno Sangiovese Appassimento is a richly flavoured red from Emilia-Romagna, shaped by the concentration of partially dried grapes. The supplied tasting description identifies a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with the appassimento method giving it a fuller, more intense style. The Santodeno family has cultivated land in the region since 1929.

Tasting Notes
It shows an intense ruby-red colour with lively violet reflections. The inviting aroma brings together red fruit, blackberry jam and spice, with hints of cherry, raspberry and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with soft tannins and a balanced, lingering finish. The available information does not specify its ageing potential; it can be enjoyed now, and decanting should help open its aromas.

Production
The grapes come from Romagna, where the local soils and climate are well suited to viticulture. According to the supplied description, they are hand-harvested and carefully selected, then partially dried to concentrate their aromas and flavours. The wine is described as a Sangiovese-led blend with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, made with an emphasis on preserving the fruit’s character. Specific vineyard sites and further vinification details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16°C in a large wine glass, and allow it to breathe in a decanter for about an hour. Its generous fruit and soft tannins suit roasted red meat, game, aged cheeses and hearty tomato-based pasta dishes.

Producer
Tenuta Santodeno is a family-run producer in Emilia-Romagna, with a history of cultivating the land dating back to 1929. Its Sangiovese Appassimento reflects a regional winemaking tradition through hand harvesting and the partial drying of the grapes. No further information about the winery’s history or specific achievements is available.
