WINE DESCRIPTION
Drei Donà - Tenuta La Palazza Notturno Sangiovese is a proud representative of the DOC Predappio subzone, embodying the rich character of this historic area. Crafted from a selection of the estate's finest Sangiovese grapes, each vineyard’s fruit is harvested, vinified, and aged separately before blending to achieve a harmonious expression of the terroir. The winemaking process honors tradition, using indigenous yeasts and controlled fermentation in cement and stainless steel tanks, followed by a maceration period of up to 18 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for about a year in large French oak barrels and Allier tonneaux, adding depth and balance. An emblem of the estate's heritage, Notturno captures the heart of Drei Donà’s dedication to quality and place.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Drei Donà - Tenuta La Palazza Notturno Sangiovese is an exquisite wine that showcases the best qualities of the Sangiovese grape.On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and earthiness.
On the palate, the Notturno Sangiovese reveals a harmonious balance between its vibrant acidity and velvety tannins. The flavors of red fruits persist, with additional notes of blackberries and plums, providing a delightful depth and complexity. The wine finishes with a long, lingering aftertaste, leaving a memorable impression.
This Sangiovese is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes. It complements Italian cuisine beautifully, particularly tomato-based pasta dishes, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Its elegance and structure also make it a delightful choice for savoring on its own.
