“Pandolfo” Sangiovese Superiore Romagna DOC 2022 (BIO)
The single-varietal Pandolfo matures for 9 months, 70% in steel tanks and 30% in Slovenian oak barrels, before maturing for at least 3 months in the bottle. The result is a dark ruby red colour in the glass. On the nose, it seduces with an aromatic bouquet reminiscent of cherries, liquorice, raspberries and spices. The flavour is complex and well-structured with soft and well-defined tannins. Medium-long final. SUPERIORE.DE

“Brò" Trebbiano Romagna DOC 2022 (BIO)
Brò is a white wine from sustainable cultivation that is hard to beat in terms of freshness, elegance and enjoyment. The grapes come from the clay and limestone soils near Fiumana di Predappio. Pale straw yellow in colour with greenish reflections. On the nose, a captivating blend of crushed stones, spiced orange peel, dried apricot and peach, mixed with herbal elements. On the characterful palate, it is complex, juicy and very drinkable with its freshness and lightness. SUPERIORE.DE
"Do your best to find this layered, textured and generous wine—it's what we all need. Aromas of lemon zest, lemon oil, baked apples, pressed wildflowers and crushed stone lift from the glass with grace. Fresh on the palate but with gravitas, the wine highlights the citrus notes with hints of roasted orange and honey that are lifted by crunchy acidity and minerality." Wine Enthusiast

“Pandolfo” Sangiovese Superiore Riserva Romagna DOC 2019
Strong, bright ruby violet. Appealing nose with rich notes of blackberries, dark cherries and plums. On the palate dense, sturdy tannin, builds up multilayered, juicy and gripping, profoundly long. SUPERIORE.DE
"A bouquet of minty herbs, dried cherries and spiced citrus peels wafts up from the 2019 Sangiovese Superiore Riserva Romagna Pandolfo. This is a soft and round Sangiovese, balanced by brisk acidity. Dark red fruit waves contrast traces of sour citrus. Tangerine mixes with dried fig through the long, tension-filled and lightly structured finale. The 2019 Pandolfo marks a big step up in quality from past vintages." Vinous

“Il Sangiovese” Sangiovese Predappio Romagna DOC 2022 (BIO)
Successful Sangiovese interpretation of the Romagna identity, which is particularly appreciated by wine lovers of slimmer, Burgundian-style wines. Bright, brilliant ruby red colour. Classic, traditional, lively and flavoursome on the palate, but always balanced, elegant and subtle rather than bold. SUPERIORE.DE
"Woodsy aromas of fall alongside spiced cherries and dried roses lift from the glass of this elegant wine. Savory with seemingly endless flavors of black tea, rosemary, dried blackberry and underbrush that meld into the fine and elegant tannins that frame the wine so well that each note of the wine is in harmony. Perfect with your next roasted or earth-driven meal." Wine Enthusiast

“Godenza” Sangiovese Predappio Romagna DOC 2021 (BIO)
Produced in just 6,000 bottles per vintage, Godenza from the vineyard of the same name undergoes spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by temperature-controlled maceration in stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, it then matures for 12 months in cement vats and at least 9 months in the bottle. Made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, it is characterised by its complex and open bouquet with aromas of small red berries and spices. On the palate, it is firm and clear with a wonderful balance between acidity and ripe flavours and has a very respectable, slightly salty and spicy finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"This wine with its deep colour shows the beauty, power and depth that Sangiovese from Predappio in Emilia-Romagna possesses and seems almost reserved at first. Aromas of baked plums with sweet and savoury spices, dried wild herbs, roasted game and forest floor. On the palate with firm tannins that balance the richness of dark berry fruit with liquorice and candied violets, finishing with grace and elegance." Wine Enthusiast

Olio Extra Vergine di Oliva 2023
Pandolfa | Emilia-Romagna
The production of high-quality olive oils at Pandolfa dates back to the 16th century. The olives all come from the company's own olive groves around Predappio. Intense, bright yellow-green colour. The aroma is reminiscent of freshly picked olives with an intense flavour of wild herbs. On the palate, it is elegant and delicate, with a sweet note and a slight sharpness that diminishes with further months of storage (cool and dark). SUPERIORE.DE

In 1941, Giuseppe Ricci bought the run-down estate, renovated it over many years and recultivated the agricultural land, even then with the idea of growing wine here one day. His daughter Noelia Ricci was then the driving force, planting vineyards in the early 1970s and giving Pandolfa its first recognition. At that time, however, mass was more in demand than quality. The tourists on the nearby Adriatic beaches around Rimini wanted a lot of wine, but cheap wine. How good the Sangiovese from the hills could be was to be recognised much later.
Noelia Ricci's daughter Paola consistently continued to implement her mother's visions, focusing on quality and on the higher, stonier sites, sedimentary rock that changes from grey deep loam of the plain to chalky light rock, interspersed with minerals and some sulphur. You can see - and taste - the difference clearly.
Today, if you leave the autostrada that connects Bologna with Rimini and head south at Forli, the winding road into the foothills of the Apennines begins. In Fumana di Predappio stands the magnificent old villa, almost like a chateaux in Bordeaux, in the midst of vineyards, a typical old Italian aristocratic country residence. Today it mainly serves presentations, festivities and weddings. The striking labels of the Pandolfa wines are reminiscent of this, as the pastel colours of the villa can be found again. The painting itself is based on a painting by the Renaissance painter Piero della Francesco, who portrayed Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, the ruler of Rimini, around 1450, with a modern ironic twist. The original hangs in the Louvre. The middle name was the eponym for the villa and the house's top Sangiovese.
Paola's son, Marco Cirese, is now the fourth generation to be in charge of wine production, together with his oenologist Paolo Salvi. He reduced the cultivation area from 85 to 39 hectares today and eliminated the international red wine varieties - "they thrive better elsewhere". Today, mainly Sangiovese grapes are grown in close-to-nature cultivation, "an autochthonous clone that is closer to Brunello than to Chianti", which also actually taste different from Tuscany. More rounded, with strong but crumbly tannins. This produces the three single-varietal Sangiovese Federico, Pandolfo and the Riserva. In addition, only a little white wine made from Chardonnay and a very drinkable rosé are pressed. The wines of Villa Pandolfa can be described as great value for money.
In 2010, Marco Cirese created a new wine line from the highest 9 hectares of cru vineyards, named after his grandmother, the visionary Noelia Ricci, quasi as an homage. Only 4,500 vines per hectare with low yields are the basis of the three Sangiovese Superiore specialities. Natural cultivation in the stony, chalky-mineral hills of the Apennines at up to 340 metres above sea level. Supplied with excellent ventilation by the sea, which is only a few kilometres away, during the day and flooded with cool downward winds from the mountains at night, a microclimate with warm days and cool nights is created here, which makes for a crystal-clear wonderful fruit. Some call this the most Burgundian Sangiovese in Romagna. In any case, "Il Sangiovese" and the Cru "Godenza" have already received the highest awards, above all the coveted "Tre bicchieri" of the Gambero Rosso, probably the highest award a wine can achieve in Italy.
Marco Cirese calls his style of Noelia Ricci wines "slow", derived from the slow food movement, and he vinifies all wines only in stainless steel tanks slowly and carefully, with the least influence in the cellar. The cultivation has been certified organic since 2021, with a lot of manual work in the vineyard and manual harvesting into small boxes. SUPERIORE.DE
