Sangiovese di Romagna Predappio DOC Chiara Condello 2018

About the Producer Chiara Condello

Chiara Condello is a gifted young winemaker, driven by passion and initiative. Her domain is situated in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. There, she crafts exceptional cuvées in keeping with the purest family tradition. Her seven hectares of around 50-year-old vines are rooted in clay-limestone soils and grow alongside olive trees and woodland. She exclusively cultivates Sangiovese, literally meaning ‘the blood of Jupiter’. This red grape variety, widespread throughout Italy, produces fruity, flavoursome wines that are perfect with Italian dishes. Aware of current environmental issues and to strike a balance between humans and vines, the winemaker works in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. In the vineyard, all work is undertaken by hand. In the winery, vinification takes place with as little intervention as possible and fermentation is achieved with natural yeasts. This sun-drenched, unspoilt environment is where Chiara Condello crafts wines of great character, celebrating the region’s signature grape variety.
