Description

This name originates from the Latin word Remnius and the Etruscan word Remne, indicating the name given to the parish-owned land, as mentioned in a document dating back to 715 A.D. A blend of three non-adjacent vineyards (Santo Pietro, Castagno Vecchio, and Pian dei Cerri) on the southwestern side of the denomination, surrounding the parish church of Santa Restituta. The soils date to the Eocene age and consist mainly of clay and limestone, with a more significant presence of pebbles and galestro in Pian dei Cerri, of sand in Castagno Vecchio, and of tuff and marine fossils in Santo Pietro. The wines of 2019 have rich color, intense fruity and floral notes, tension, with freshness and a full-body, all influenced by just the right  proportion of heat and rain over the summer. Winter and spring were cold and dry. Budding was delayed and the grape bunches were small in size. It rained heavily in May, but the lower temperatures helped to prevent disease. Total rainfall during the vintage was in line with seasonal averages (700-900 mm), but most of the rain occurred in May and from July to September. The weather was hot from June through August. Rain at the end of July into August played an important role in preventing thermal shock. Light Tramontane and Mistral winds help avoid the formation of mould. Throughout September, the temperatures fluctuated significantly (from 15°C at night to 28°C in the day) and a final rainfall around the middle of the month helped the grapes reach full ripeness. The harvest began on September 22 and ended October 6. The grapes were healthy and fully ripened, with a balanced proportion between skin and juice.

Color

Intense ruby colour.

Aroma

Layers of thyme, marjoram, orange, ripe black cherry, plum and wild roses create a rich and complex aroma.

Taste

The mouthfeel is characterized by a buttery, enveloping entry, leading to an intense and long-lasting taste with silky but firm tannins and a fresh and savory, juicy finish.

Vinification

The grapes from the different vineyards are fermented and macerated separately; after 24 months of ageing in oak, they are blended and then aged for another 6 months in concrete.
