Poderi Dal Nespoli
Vigneto di Prugneto Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore
My friend from Emilia Romagna brought me this wine again, 5 years after after visiting his hometown for Christmas. Same wine, different vintage, same enjoyment.
The nose is made of cherry, pencil shavings, some soy sauce and a touch of smoke. The palate is delicious with a great acid drive, some delicious cherry juice notes all along, some width, some grippy mouthfeel that is well disrupted by a great tannic wall kicking in the rear. The finish is tannic, grippy with cherry notes and some oaky, smoky notes and a great umami touch. It's a great Sangiovese from outside of Tuscany and it paired with nice steaks cooked rare in butter (2 minutes on each side) by yours truly 😅

This is a present from a friend from Emilia Romagna. First encounter with this appellation so I'll give a note against what I've already tasted with sangiovese.
The nose is very mineral with gun powder and pencil lead at first. The usual markers of sangiovese I know are lurking in the background, i.e. Almond and cherry. There is a bit of a toasty note that suggests some oak barrel aging too. The palate is very intense with a strong acid backbone, cherry and almond all along for a more usual sangiovese little tune, some grip and a cool and fluid matter, a bit of tannins and a long fruity finish with a bitter component on the sides in the end.
This is rather well crafted and calls for a more thorough inspection of what Emilia Romagna has to offer. Off we go!
Edit: this was a perfect way of celebrating my 100th Italian wine in here!

Pris dans cellier, classé charnu, pas tant que ça. Vaut le prix mais pas exceptionnel selon mes goûts. Fruité un peu avec goût qui revient régulièrement avec une petite touche différentielle.
