The Ideal Glass for Sangiovese di Romagna

The Bordeaux Glass was designed for enjoying fuller-bodied, tannic red wines. They are taller than other red wine glasses, and has a slimmer bowl.

The tall size allows the bouquet of the wine to develop, smooth out rough edges, play down tannins, and allow the wine to achieve balance.

The slimmer bowl directs the wine to the back of your mouth for a maximum taste.

About Sangiovese di Romagna

Toscana is not the only region where Sangiovese thrives – Romagna is the home of dozens of excellent wines made from the grape.

Sangiovese is planted all over the Emilia-Romagna region. Like its brother from Toscana, Sangiovese di Romagna has many clones and produces a range of wines from IGT table wines to very fine DOC wines.

Viticulturists have worked hard to produce new high quality clones (R24 & T19).

Sangiovese di Romagna adapts to different soil types. It produces rich, full bodied and tannic wines in the provinces of Forlì and Ravenna, and light, fruity wines in the western and eastern regions near Bologna and Marche.

The grape produces the highest quality wine in the sandstone and clay hills south of the Via Emilia near the Apennines, which coveres the Sangiovese di Romagna DOC zone, where the higher summer temperature gives more opportunity for Sangiovese to ripen.

The Sangiovese di Romagna DOC zone includes over 7000 hectares that produces over 130,000 hl of wine each year.

Climate

Emilia Romagna enjoys has a mild continental climate: Wet winters and dry summers.

The most important landmark is the River Po. It is responsible for cooling breezes that are vital in the flat terrain.

Unlike Toscana and Piemonte, the wine growers cannot rely on elevation and the moderating effects of diurnal temperatures.

One exception is the hills around Bologna with the sandstone and limestone terroirs of the Colli Bolognesi, with some very high-quality wine production.

Soil

The plains around the Po Valley are known for their fertile alluvial soils, ideal for growing grapes. The area is particularly well-suited for producing sparkling wines like Lambrusco.

The hills of the Apennines has a mix of clay, sand, and limestone soils, providing excellent drainage and mineral content, ideal for producing high-quality wines.
