“Oudeis” Ravenna Sangiovese IGT 2016

Oudeis is a pure Sangiovese obtained from grapes that grow at 200m above sea level in Campiume, on the Apennine ridge, from vineyards managed in a completely natural way. It is an area characterized by a chalky subsoil which gives the wines great minerality and finesse. After manual harvesting, it ferments naturally in steel thanks to the yeasts present on the grapes, with long maceration on the skins (40/50 days); ages 36 months in large 20hl oak barrels, then 18 months in the bottle. Not filtered or clarified.

It is an intense, harmonious and persistent wine. It has a garnet color; on the nose it is intense and complex, with hints of cherry jam and hints of wild herbs that intertwine with spicy and toasted ones. On the sip it has elegant freshness, good flavor and a well-present but perfectly integrated tannin. A splendid interpretation of Sangiovese, with great aging potential.

It pairs excellently with important meat dishes, preferably fatty ones, such as braised pork cheeks; also perfect with grilled red meats.
