Il Teatro Sangiovese Superiore Modigliana Violano DOC 2022

The Violàno is a Sangiovese Superiore that embodies the austere and elegant soul of Modigliana. Produced by the Il Teatro winery, this wine originates from a careful selection of grapes that benefit from the particular composition of the soils — a mix of sands, marls, and sandstones — and an altitude that guarantees optimal temperature excursions.

The 2022 vintage, characterized by sunny and dry weather, allowed for the production of fruit with extraordinary ripeness. Unlike Sangiovese wines from the plains, Violàno maintains an acidic and mineral backbone that defines its nobility. It is a wine that does not seek muscular power, but rather the depth of the sip and aromatic persistence.

Sensory Characteristics:

• Appearance: Intense ruby red with garnet reflections, a sign of the fruit's maturity.

• Nose: The nose is complex and layered. It ranges from ripe morello cherry and plum to more evolved notes of undergrowth, licorice, and elegant dark spice. The hint of violet, typical of the grape variety, is also present.

• Palate: On the palate, it is enveloping and structured. The tannins are present but velvety, well-polished by time. The mineral salinity typical of Modigliana's soils cleanses the palate, leaving a long, clean, and slightly almond-like finish.

Why choose it: Violàno is the choice for those seeking a Sangiovese with character, capable of telling the story of Romagna "of rock and wood." It is a meditation wine or a wine for grand meals, capable of evolving splendidly in the bottle over the coming years
