It is obtained from a careful selection of grapes that come from a small vineyard in the Acerreta Valley in Modigliana called Ronco di Rio Brola which Fondo San Giuseppe rented from the Casetta dei Frati company in 2015. Ronco di Rio Brola is a beautiful vineyard facing North-East of approximately one hectare of surface area, almost 30 years old. The altitude of the vineyard is between 250 and 300 metres, on a fairly steep slope. It is a clone of Sangiovese with small grapes (Romagnolo), with a tight bunch.

The grapes are harvested manually in the third ten days of October and only the most suitable will be used to make MODIGLIANA, while the others will be used for the production of Romagna Doc Sangiovese Superiore CA’BIANCA. Immediately after harvesting, the grapes are transported to the cellar where, after destemming and soft pressing, they spontaneously begin to ferment. Maceration on the skins lasts 3 weeks and after racking the wine matures for 6-8 months in cement.

Since its inception, the entire vinification and maturation process of Romagna Doc Sangiovese MODIGLIANA has been carried out to create a wine representative of its territory of origin. The elegance of its olfactory part immediately manifests itself with notes of small red fruits such as currants, sour cherries and raspberries, which then leave room for hints of leather, liquorice and undergrowth. The smell is thus broad and complex as befits a MODIGLIANA. On the palate it expresses itself deliberately with austerity where the following dominate: flavour, tannicity and freshness which give the wine an intriguingly hard character. It is a wine that by its nature will benefit from a long maturation in the bottle and which likes to stylistically recall some traditional expressions of Nebbiolo.

The first vintage produced is 2021, released in September 2022.
