Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore Riserva 'Torre di Ceparano' Zerbina 2019
The "Torre di Ceparano" is a Sangiovese di Romagna Reserve with good body, aged in barrique for 12 months. On the nose, it releases aromas of sour cherries, red fruits, and damp earth. The taste is fresh and fruity, as typical of the grape variety and the territory, with balsamic and spicy tones.
The Sangiovese Superiore Riserva “Torre di Ceperano” is one of the great red wines crafted by Fattoria Zerbina, an important and esteemed winery in Romagna that has distinguished itself for its great interpretations of Sangiovese, achieved thanks to an innovative high-density bush training system. The “Torre di Ceperano” takes its name from an ancient medieval fort built along the Marzeno river, about 10 kilometers from Faenza, and expresses the best characteristics of the terroir of the Faenza area, where the Zerbina farm is located.
The Sangiovese Superiore Riserva “Torre di Ceperano” is made from Sangiovese grapes and minimal percentages of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Ancellotta. The production process involves fermentation in medium-capacity stainless steel tanks, with a maceration period varying between 15 and 21 days. Finally, it undergoes a one-year aging in French and American oak barriques of 225 liters.
Compared to the other Sangiovese di Romagna from Fattoria Zerbina, such as Pietramora or Marzieno,
