Tasting Notes: Ibola is name of the valley with the most extreme characteristics. Here the sandstone is very pure, with little marl, the altitudes are highest (500 meters above sea level) and the surrounding woods play the most siginificant role in determining the quality of the grapes. The Ibola valley is the narrow and its grapes mature in late October. The Sangiovese here is defined by its elegance and austerity, with a salty, incisive palate driven by fine tannins. The nose is floral with an earthy quality that foretells of the wines’s minerality. The finale, with its notes of citrus, is typical of the Sangiovese in this valley.
Estate History: On the weathered sandstone soils above Modigliana "Sangiovese speaks a different language - less alcohol, fresher acidity and more herbal and floral notes" according to Giorgio Melandri. Giorgio spent 20 years tasting and writing about the wines of Emilia-Romagna for Gambero Rosso, few people know the area and its varied terroirs as well as he does. This intimate knowledge inspired him to set up a project focusing on the potential of Modigliana’s different sites and soils. There are three valleys that climb up the Apennines from the town - Ibola, Tramazzo and Acereta which give their names to 3 wines made of pure Sangiovese, each expressing a unique mineral style that highlights the terroir its valley of origin. Giorgio calls it "the traditional style before oak and over-ripeness came in" [for Sangiovese]
