Discover Balia di Zola Redinoce: A Fine Sangiovese Riserva

Hailing from the historic Modigliana hills within Emilia-Romagna, the Balia di Zola Redinoce Red is a standout Sangiovese Riserva. This wine is a testament to the region's potential, often compared to its Tuscan cousins for its structure but retaining a unique Romagnolo character-straightforward yet deeply sincere. Produced from old vines, the Riserva designation guarantees a wine of exceptional depth, matured in French oak barrels to achieve a seamless fusion of fruit, spice, and tertiary complexity.

Sommelier's Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep, intense ruby red with subtle garnet edges, indicating its Riserva pedigree.
• Aroma: Complex and inviting. Expect concentrated red fruit (cherry, baked plum) intertwined with refined notes of tobacco leaf, noble wood, and a pleasant minerality derived from the clay-rich soils.
• Taste: Dry, full-bodied, and elegant. It possesses a firm but fine tannic structure and vibrant acidity, ensuring longevity. The palate is fleshy and deep, culminating in a long, harmonious finish with hints of sweet spice.

Food Pairing & Decanting

This is a wine for the main event. Decanting is highly recommended to allow the complex aromas to fully unfold. Serve at 18°C.

• Pairing: Excellent with traditional game dishes such as Venison Pie, rich Beef Wellington, or a hearty Wild Boar Ragu.
