The Antonelli estate, once owned by the Vatican, has been producing wines under its name since 1881 and has been certified organic since 2009. Their Sangiovese is hand-picked, fermented with the skins for about two weeks, and aged in stainless steel and bottle to preserve the pure Sangiovese character. It boasts a vibrant ruby-red hue, with aromas of cherry, red fruits, and delicate floral hints. On the palate, it is fresh and balanced with a clean and lively finish. Straightforward yet refined, this Sangiovese reflects the estate’s commitment to crafting authentic and enjoyable wines.
