AleAnto - Fine Wine Importers - Our Wines: Emilia

CENTESIMINO is a semi-aromatic indigenous red grape variety, grown exclusively in a few hectares on the hills surrounding Faenza (Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna) by a restricted circle of winegrowers. CENTESIMINO, also called red Sauvignon for its peculiar aromatic characteristics, is a strongly scented wine that strikes for its bouquet, rich in floral notes, fruit jam and spices.

The limited production – below 30,000 bottles per year – makes it a real oenological rarity.
