Allow me to introduce you to a wine that is not just a beverage, but a narrative woven from the heart of Romagna, Italy. This is the 1502 DaVinci in Romagna, affectionately nicknamed "Uve portate a casa," a testament to the time-honored tradition of bringing the grapes home to elevate their essence. Crafted by Cantine Leonardo Da Vinci, a winery steeped in the artistic and innovative spirit of its namesake, this wine is a celebration of Sangiovese, Romagna's quintessential grape.
The "Appassimento" method is employed here, a technique where the grapes are partially dried after harvest, concentrating their sugars and flavors. This process imparts a depth and complexity that sets this wine apart. Imagine biting into a sun-ripened cherry, its sweetness intensified by a touch of caramelization - that's the essence of the 1502 DaVinci.
With its rich ruby color and a nose that whispers of ripe red fruits, a hint of spice, and a touch of earthy undertones, this wine is an experience for the senses. The palate is greeted with a symphony of flavors - juicy cherry, plum, and a subtle note of dried fig, all supported by a smooth tannin structure and a lingering finish. The alcohol percentage of 14% adds to the body and warmth, creating a balanced and satisfying experience.
The 1502 DaVinci is incredibly food-friendly. It pairs beautifully with classic Italian dishes such as pasta with ragu, roasted meats, and aged cheeses. But don't be afraid to venture beyond the familiar! Try it with Korean bulgogi for a delightful East-meets-West pairing, or enjoy it with spicy Korean stews like kimchi jjigae, where its fruity notes will complement the savory flavors.
Why choose this wine? Because it's more than just a bottle; it's a story of tradition, innovation, and the passion of the winemakers at Cantine Leonardo Da Vinci. It's a wine that invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and appreciate the simple pleasures of life. At an ideal serving temperature of 16°C, this wine unfolds its full potential, offering a taste of Romagna that is both authentic and unforgettable. No rest is needed before drinking, so uncork this bottle and enjoy the taste of Italy at your dinner table.
