From the wonderful Raffaella Bissoni and her beautiful farm up in the hills of Emilia-Romagna, this is always so much fun, sleek and pure with cherry, tobacco, plum and mocha aromas and flavours. Watch out big name Sangiovese - this really is a class act - and incredibly well priced! Unencumbered by oak, it delivers a bright, pertly juicy and very easy drinking style. L&S (Jan 2024)

Sangiovese aged on the lees, a small percentage in used oak. Certified organic. Mid crimson. So inviting: rich, fruity dark fruit with all that wonderful Italian 'bite' of savoury freshness. Generous in fruit, smoothly textured by the tannins. I defy you not to like this. According to winemaker Raffaella Bissoni, this is very versatile at the table. A generous, open-hearted wine.

Bissoni
Raffaella Bissoni has always dreamt of raising the profile of Emilia Romagna's important grape varieties; Sangiovese and Albana.
Her aim was to produce fine wines through careful work in the vineyards, being patient and respectful of nature and its cycles. She wanted to bottle not only wine, but also her passion and her love for things done properly. And so in 1988 she founded the Bissoni winery. Nestled on the beautiful hillside of Casticciano, a natural terrace overlooking the sea in the medieval town of Bertinoro. She has always worked organically and treats the farm as a complete ecosystem with vines sharing soil with wildly growing cover-crops. For Raffaella, this natural balance is key. Even with the cover crops she wants the land to select what should grow, rather than choosing and manipulating the soil buy planting beans or other well-known solutions. From the 2016 vintage Raffaella has been certified organic although nothing has actually changed in her work. Pure and fresh wines from this true artisan producer.
Today, she is living the dream and remains faithful to her values - organically certified these are beautifully crafted wines coming from her 5 hectares of pristine vineyards.
