In 2010, Marco Cirese, grandson of Noelia Ricci, started a project within Tenuta Pandolfa: nine hectares of the best plots, a radical focus on Sangiovese, back to the origins. The label is adorned with a wasp – the insect that lives in the vineyard like no other. The vines are planted at an altitude of 250 to 300 metres, on ochre-coloured clay soils with limestone marl, in 2002. Spontaneous fermentation, 18 days of maceration, then six months in stainless steel – without clarification, without filtration. Purism as a principle.

Bright ruby red, almost transparent. The nose is floral and red-fruity, cherries and raspberries, a hint of spice. Light-footed, juicy and vibrantly fresh on the palate, with tannins that remain elegantly in the background. The winemakers call it "veloce e pungente" – fast and sparkling, with a drinkable flow that is addictive. A Sangiovese that leaves out the superfluous. SUPERIORE.DE

"Here's a wine that would make Dante himself raise a glass! From Preddappio's hills, Marco Cirese crafts a Sangiovese that tells a story in every sip. Dark cherries awaken the senses while herbal notes, crushed earth, and dried flowers dance in harmony. This is a serious wine yet maintains a playful spirit, in the true essence of great winemaking. That salty finish arrives with a mouthwatering zing, propelling each sip forward." Wine Enthusiast
