Tenuta Santodeno

Tenuta Santodeno has been producing wines that embody the identity of the Romagna hills since 1929. The vineyards lie on the hills of the Valle del Bidente, in Romagna, where the marked diurnal temperature swings, good ventilation and well-draining soils favor an ideal ripening of the grapes.

The leading grape is Sangiovese, alongside Rhine Riesling and Trebbiano. The estate stands out as a pioneer of the appassimento technique in Romagna: its Sangiovese is among the first in the region made with this method.

The flagship wine is Romagna DOC Sangiovese Appassimento: the grapes, hand-harvested on medium-textured soils, are gently laid in small crates and left to dry slowly to concentrate sugars and aromas. The result is an intense red, with notes of red fruits, blackberry jam and spices, full-bodied with supple tannins, ideal with game, roasts and aged cheeses, but also as a meditation wine.

The range also includes Sangiovese Superiore Romagna DOC, complex and perfect with handmade pasta with ragù, and Rubicone IGT Riesling, Sangiovese and Trebbiano, fresh and versatile at the table. Now part of the Argea group, Tenuta Santodeno brings to the glass the straightforward, genuine character of Romagna.
