The Story
Chiara Condello Romagna Sangiovese 2022 is an incredibly focused, pure, and brilliantly sharp organic red wine that showcases a vibrant and authentic alternative to Tuscan expressions of this noble grape variety. Crafted by one of the region’s most inspiring young winemakers in the premium subzone of Predappio, it pours a luminous ruby red with bright crimson edges. The bouquet is highly aromatic and fragrance-driven, slowly opening in the glass to reveal enticing scents of fresh wild strawberries, candied cherries, and dried purple flowers, perfectly interwoven with savory notes of new leather, crushed ashen stones, white pepper, and wild Mediterranean herbs like rosemary and sage. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, remarkably crunchy, and bright, delivering a juicy, energy-filled core of sour cherry and tart red berries. Framed by tightly wound, chalky tannins and an animating, vertical acidity, it strikes a wonderful structural tension before culminating in a long, beautifully focused, and mineral-driven finish highlighted by an amaro-like twist.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with pappardelle al ragù, slow-braised wild boar, roasted pork loin, grilled lamb chops, and savory mushroom risotto.
