Tasting
Tasting
Full-bodied, spicy, with a silky tannic texture and a salty finish, typical of its territory of origin, Castrocaro Terme. Red and black berry fruits predominate. The entry to the palate is characterised by a full softness and elegance in the fruit, in excellent balance with a moderate acid base that opens up to soft tannins and a persistent savoury finish.
Vinification
notes
The Sangiovese grapes are harvested together, undergo fermentation by indigenous yeasts and then maceration on the skins in temperature- controlled steel vats for 24 days. Malolactic fermentation then follows.
Ageing: 12 months in non-vitrified concrete and a minimum of 3 months in the bottles.
Label
Santa Reparata depicts a flower that resembles a snapdragon, an austere and elegant flower like the wine it represents. It is a drawing by Silvio Gordini, one of the best-known artists of Emilia-Romagna, great-grandfather on the mother’s side of Aldo and Paolo Rametta.
Interesting fact – Santa Reparata takes its name from the patroness of Terra del Sole, a young woman martyred during the persecutions of the Roman emperor Decius. According to a legend (widespread in Provence and common to that of other saints), after having killed her, her captors would have put her body on a boat which was then set adrift.
The boat, guided by angels, would have arrived in Nice, in France, and the body would be buried in what later became the cathedral of Sainte-Réparate. Every year on the first Sunday of September, Terra del Sole – the locality where Poggio della Dogana stands – dedicates the Palio
of Santa Reparata to her.
