Ombroso

Romagna DOC Sangiovese Riserva Bertinoro

Vintage

Harvest 2017
Strongly hot and dry vintage that caused a severe drop in production, also due to a carefully selection of grape bunches.

Grape variety

100% Sangiovese from a 6 hectares (15-acre)
vineyard planted in 1993/94 at a density of 6.500 vines per hectares (2,600 vines per acre), trained in “Alberello”, “Bush” system. Grape production: 5000 kg/Ha.

Soil

Calcareous-clayey mixture. Exposure south-west. Altitude 300 m.

Harvest

The fruit is carefully selected and hand-harvested in small crates when it reaches the full ripeness.

Winemaking process

Soft press and destemming. Fermented in stainless steel tanks. “Ombroso” is produced only in the best vintages; therefore we allow a prolonged skin-contact maceration. It spends 12 to 15 months in French Tonneaux – 50% new, and 50% of second and third year. Following a very light filtration the wine rests in the bottle for 2 years, before release

Tasting notes

Dense ruby red.
Intense nose of blackberry, sour cherry and violet with delicate balsamic and spicy notes.

The palate shows an excellent balance and assertive, tasty tannins, and is supported by freshness and sapidity in a deep and juicy finish.

Serving temp. 18°C.
