This red wine is produced from the same grape combination as the regular Sovana Rosso, and that is Sangiovese (50-100%), together with other local, non-aromatic red grapes (0-50%).
In this case, it produces an intense red wine with a tendency towards garnet after aging. The aroma is vinous, intense and characteristic, and with a fine bouquet. The taste is dry, ample and harmonious.
Mandatory aging is 9 months in oak barrels.
There is also a Rosso Superiore Riserva with a longer aging requirement.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
If you envision Sicily as an independent country, it would have the world’s seventh largest wine production, but despite the large quantities, the quality is high and steadily increasing. Today, Sicily has Italy’s third-largest wine production, and the island’s wine is Southern Italy’s most stable in terms of quality.
