Producer description:

Located in the southern part of the Emilia-Romagna, Balìa di Zola produces beautiful expressions of Sangiovese. The Fiore family bought this small estate that came with 3 hectares of 40-years-old vines in 1999. They made it their mission to revive the vineyards and expand upon their holdings by planting a further three hectares. Sangiovese is very much their focus and passion. Ideal altitude, soil composition, climate, and proximity to woodland are all playing a role to make excellent Sangiovese di Romagna, one of Italy’s best kept secrets.
