Villa Papiano 2022 Sangiovese Modigliana ‘La Papesse’ Emilia-Romagna

High altitude Sangiovese from the Appenine foothills of Modigliana, Emilia-Romagna. This is one of the more crushable Sangiovese-based wines I’ve come across in ages. It reminds me of wines from Lamole or Castellina in Chianti Classico, only lighter and easy on the way down. Pop and pour with any BBQ, gathering or regular plate of pasta.
