Made at 450 metres on the slopes of Monte Nails, it reflects the character of Romagna’s Sangiovese country; the wine has also received Gambero Rosso’s Tre Bicchieri recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuby red with violet highlights, it opens with aromas of small red and dark fruits, lifted by delicate floral notes. The palate is elegant and medium-bodied, with clear fruit, well-integrated tannins and a pleasantly bitter finish.\n\nSpecific cellaring guidance for the 2024 vintage is not provided. Its fresh, fruit-led profile makes it appealing to enjoy while those aromas are vivid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyards lie at around 450 metres in Modigliana, where hilly terrain and sandstone soils with clay inclusions shape the fruit. The bush-trained vines are spur-pruned and farmed according to biodynamic principles, with low yields to help express the site. After harvest, the grapes undergo controlled-temperature fermentation in stainless steel, with 18–24 days of skin maceration. The wine then spends six months in stainless steel and a further 12 months resting in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at 12–14°C. Its bright red-fruit character and balanced tannins suit grilled sausages, roast pork, tomato-based pasta or a selection of cured meats and aged cheeses. A short time in the glass should be enough; decanting is not essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 2000, Villa Papiano makes wines that express the character of Romagna, with a focus on the Modigliana area. Its vineyards are farmed biodynamically under Demeter principles, and this Sangiovese Papesse is made under the direction of oenologist Francesco Bordini. The estate’s setting at altitude and its distinctive sandstone-and-clay soils are central to its regional identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Villa Papiano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55068018704721,"sku":"XW-62618","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/villa-papiano-sangiovese-papesse-2024","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
