Chiara Condello Romagna Sangiovese di Predappio 2020
A shining example of 100% Sangiovese from the cooler hills of Romagna. Organically certified grapes, raised naturally and with utmost care! Chiara Condello is a star of the region and her wines are must-haves, and sell out in seconds. A serious treat for those who cherish the energy and pep of great Sangiovese, with an added smoky nuance pulled from these fossil-rich, exceptional soils.

Guesses for this blind basically took us on an Italian wine country tour - from Montalcino to the Alto Aldige to Alto Piedmonte. Ergo, variety guesses were as good as a shot in the dark - Sangiovese, Pinot Nero, Nebbiolo, strange Italian variety names courtesy of the Italian winemakers on the table. What is clear though is the youth and elegance of the wine. Heaps of sweet black cherries and roses, some herbs and spices, along with juicy acidity and superfine tannins, which most thought were a touch green. I thought it drank it really well, though if anything, the blind does prove how difficult it can be to pinpoint these “gentler” style of reds which are more giving in their youth. And the reveal - A Sangiovese from Emilia-Romagna. Who would have thought?
