B.IO bpuntoio Sangiovese di Romagna DOC 2020

This is the purple grape most extensively grown in Italy. There are numerous hypotheses about the origin of the name.

The most accredited being the one that considers it to be derived from “Sangue dei goighi” or “blood of the hills”. It is impossible to establish the place of origin with any certainty, since its history is lost in the midsts of times with no prior information earlier than 16th century.

Analysis of the DNA reveals it originated from crossing the Calabrese di Montenuovo, a varietal that is now practically extinct, with the Ciliegiolo.
Its ideal growing region is in the Apennines of central and southern Italy where it yields wines of great refinement that have become international icons.
