Produced in just 6,000 bottles per vintage, Godenza from the vineyard of the same name undergoes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by temperature-controlled maceration in stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, it then matures for 12 months in cement vats and at least 9 months in the bottle. Made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, it is characterised by its complex and open bouquet with aromas of small red berries and spices. On the palate, it is firm and clear with a wonderful balance between acidity and ripe flavours and has a very respectable, slightly salty and spicy finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A multilayered wine with aromas of toast, milk chocolate, leaves, red cherries and red currants. Medium-bodied with ripe, velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a woven palate. Chewy finish of aromatic herbs." James Suckling

"This wine stands as a monument to resilience in a brutal vintage. Deep black plums merge with forest floor complexity, never tipping into heaviness. The floral perfume soars above like a counterpoint to the wine's serious core. On the palate, a fascinating dialogue unfolds between dark fruits and savory elements, while classic Sangiovese structure, those refined tannins and bright acidity, provide the perfect stage. A wine that needs time but promises greatness. Best after 2027." Wine Enthusiast

"A nose of crushed bilberry, with hints of savoury herbs leads into a broad, textured palate, with great depth of soft ripe tannins, through which runs a vein of intense dark berry fruit. The finish is long, with a firm earthy grip and a subtle return of the fruit. Spontaneous fermentation, with 45 days on the skins and ageing in unlined cement vats for a wine of great natural purity." Decanter
