This Sangiovese displays an elegant structure and a profile defined by careful \u003cstrong\u003eskin maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e. Vinification takes place through temperature-controlled fermentation in steel vats, with contact lasting around fourteen days. The process is completed with malolactic fermentation, which gives \u003cstrong\u003eharmonious flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e and enhances the connection with the historic estate, whose name pays tribute to the renowned fifteenth-century leader Pandolfo Malatesta.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e over forty years old located in Fiumana di Predappio, in the heart of the Forlì area. The vineyards are situated at an altitude between one hundred and fifty and two hundred and fifty metres above sea level, cultivated using the spur-pruned cordon system. The soil composition, rich in \u003cstrong\u003ebrown calcareous clays\u003c\/strong\u003e, supports the wine's texture and outlines a linear and consistent flavour profile. Low yields per hectare and careful harvesting ensure a high-quality raw material, capable of translating the \u003cstrong\u003echaracter of the land\u003c\/strong\u003e into a structured and satisfying sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe different Sangiovese clones are harvested and vinified together in a single \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e. After fermentation and a period in steel, the wine matures for twelve months between steel tanks and large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. A further three months of ageing perfect its sensory profile before consumption. At the table, its body pairs excellently with robust meat flavours, particularly pork dishes and cheeses. To fully appreciate its aromatic evolution, it is recommended to \u003cstrong\u003edecant for one hour\u003c\/strong\u003e before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1941 in Fiumana di Predappio, the Pandolfa estate takes its name from the legendary Pandolfo Malatesta, a commander who was portrayed by Piero della Francesca in 1451. This fine organic \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese Superiore\u003c\/strong\u003e celebrates such chivalrous deeds, originating from \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e over forty years of age. The wine's bold character stems from brown calcareous clay soils and it matures in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak\u003c\/strong\u003e barrels. A still red capable of transforming the rich history of Romagna into an authentic and captivating sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pandolfa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45609503883435,"sku":"58162","price":12.5,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/pandolfa-sangiovese-superiore-pandolfo-2024_58162_1_7a33dee2-0968-4302-913b-80a98605d0f4.webp?v=1773779510","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/pandolfa-sangiovese-superiore-pandolfo-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
