Fattoria Monticino Rosso Pignoletto d'Imola 2011

Fattoria Monticino Rosso is a family-owned winery that was founded in 1961 by Antonio Zeoli. The 90 acre property has planted 35 acres to vine with indigenous varietals: Albana di Romagna (Italy’s first DOCG white), Pignoletto and Sangiovese di Romagna. Winemaker Giancarlo Soverchia insists that quality winemaking can only be achieved through dedicated participation of the owners, thus Antonio is slowly handing the reins over to his sons Gianni and Luciano. Gianni is the cellar master and Luciano handles the business.
