Nespolino Sangiovese 2019
Rubicone IGT
Loading...
Chianti’s neighbour, Rubicone in Emilia Romagna, also produces very tasty Sangiovese but in a riper, fuller style. From an estate that has just scooped the ‘Tre Bicchieri’ – Italy's highest wine honour – this is a juicy red with lots of cherry charm.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
Named after the river that Julius Caesar famously crossed in 49 BC, the Rubicone IGT lies in the hills of Romagna encompassing the areas of Forli, Ravenna and Rimini, and is fast gathering a reputation for sumptuous Sangiovese. This delightful red is from a family property owned by Fabio and Celita Ravaioli, comprising beautiful vineyards and a modern, well equipped cellar. The head winemaker, Valerio, is a cousin of Fabio and also the official wild boar hunter of the estate! For several years now, winemaking has benefited from the experience of Giuseppe Caviola, a consultant from Piedmont, who has taken the family’s wines to new levels of quality. Full of cherry fruit and a lush acidity, Nespolino is heavenly with rich pasta dishes.
