Sangiovese Superiore Riserva Marzeno 'Pietramora' Fattoria Zerbina 2011

Sangiovese Superiore Riserva "Pietramora" of Fattoria Zerbina is the most representative wine of the estimated agronomist Cristina Geminiani: a very expressive Sangiovese that year after year "reflects the vintage".

Bottled only in the great vintages, Pietramora brings together all the best of sangiovese produced in the vineyards in the higher areas of the farm, grown as small tree in the case of the latest vintages and cordon in the case of those in older age. The exposition is to the northeast, a direction that does not facilitate the possibility to make wine every year, as evidenced by the lack of this wine for several years. After crushing, it vinifies in steel from 15 to 20 days and, then, has a malolactic fermentation and ages in barrels, with a further rest in the bottle before being released for sale.

To make unique this pure Sangiovese is the natural acidity of the soil and the orientation of the vineyards, allowing a late ripening of the grapes. Each year has a character in itself, together with a freshness that affects in such an amazing way, being well balanced by a significant alcohol and tannins loose: an extraordinary example of Sangiovese of Romagna.
