In 1966, Vincenzo Geminiani purchased a farm in Emilia-Romagna and immediately planted grapes to make wine, and Fattoria Zerbina was born. In 1987 his nephew, Cristina joined him at the estate and his since taken over all aspects of the vineyard and cellar. Cristina set the goal of producing some of the best wines from Emilia-Romagna's native grapes, Sangiovese for the reds, and Albana for the whites.
The Fattoria Zerbina Ceregio, which translates to cherry, is made from 100% estate-grown Sangiovese and is meant to be enjoyed immediately upon release. The grapes are macerated for 10-15 days and fermented in stainless steel. The wine ages in stainless steel tanks as well, which keeps the bright fruit profile intact. On the nose, aromas of lush raspberry fruit and a hint of spice plume from the glass. The Ceregio is a light to medium-bodied Sangiovese with vibrant fruit concentration and lively acidity balanced by fresh tannins. This is perfect with pizza or pasta with a meaty red sauce.
