The Wine The Wine
Italy
Region:Emilia-Romagna
This slice of northern of Italy is more famous for cheese, ham and fast cars but is capable of making some seriously good wine. Most is consumed locally and isn't widely available in the UK. I suggest you decant this before serving as it will help tame its beasty side. There's more than enough rich fruit held within and exposure to some air will bring the red cherry and spice out. Sangiovese, the great grape of Chianti, can be very tart without the right food but Conte di Campiano works with or without a meal.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Umberto Menini
The son of a Tuscan winemaker, Umberto grew up with vines in the blood. His 40-year career in the wine industry has seen him making wine for some of the most famous producers in Italy, as well as specialising in, and lecturing on, organic methods of production and, most recently, working as an international consultant to some of the most well known producers in the Veneto, Puglia and beyond. His hallmark is precision, both in terms of varietal expression and balance as well as vineyard typicity.
Matthew Jukes, wine writer and critic says "This is a massively fruity Sangiovese from the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. It is one of the mightiest red wines made from this grape I have seen! The intensity of fruit is staggering and you must only open it with mighty carnivorous dishes! In spite of its relative youth, it is already balanced, although its dimensions are massive in every direction. Lovers of lusty, chewy reds will adore this wine and those who are just a little scared will be amazed at the explosive fruit and charm with which it will woo your senses."
