ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
No-nonsense, easy drinking and wonderful value for money, the Sollazzo capsule of wines show great typicity. Using a great blend of indigenous and classic varietals, Sollazzo is a range of excellent value-for-money wines which are produced for us in a state-of-the-art winery in the heart of Emilia-Romagna. Managed sustainably, along with Equalitas, ISO 50001, ETRS certifications, the aim is to ‘produce more, by doing less’ through water resource management, reducing carbon emissions and maintaining biodiversity in the vineyard to create balanced wines. These wines are superb examples of modern winemaking at its very best and come highly recommended!
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The grapes are predominantly sourced from the rich and fertile region of Emilia Romagna, one of Italy’s most prolific wine regions, located between Tuscany to the south and Lombardy and Veneto to the north. The region’s geographical diversity plays a significant part in creating the different terroirs found in the region. The River Po links the rolling hills and the Apennine peaks to the west of the region, flowing through the low lying plains, to the vineyards influenced by the coastal breezes of the Adriatic Sea to the east. Each terroir imparts its own characteristic to the blend.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were picked separately, gently crushed and cold soaked for 12 hours. Fermentation lasted for five days at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, with daily pump-overs to extract colour and flavour from the skins. The wine was transferred to concrete tanks, where it underwent malolactic conversion resulting in a softer expression of this quaffable blend.
OUR TASTING NOTES:
An interesting blend with notes of crunchy red fruits and blackberry, which are perfectly balanced in this fruit-laden easy drinking wine which finishes on a spicy note.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Sangiovese 60%, Longanesi 20%, Montepulciano 20%.
