Vigna delle Lepri
Sangiovese
The first Sangiovese Riserva produced in Romagna, 1970. The clone descends from the first “Biondi Santi” Sangiovese Grosso biotype. About five years between French oak and cocciopesto, then the bottle. Pipe tobacco, violet, leather, berries; deep, intense without opulence. In 1982 it was served to Ronald Reagan at the Quirinale.

- The cru
- Vigna Lepri — Planted in 1963 with Sangiovese Grosso, thanks to the friendship with Franco Biondi Santi; its vines are over sixty years old. From here, in 1970, came the first Sangiovese Riserva produced in Romagna. The soil is red clay.
