Introduction:
The 2022 Raina “Rosso della Gobba” Rosso is a lively, approachable red blend from Umbria, offering bright fruit, balanced structure, and natural wine clarity—a celebration of Sangiovese’s character and Umbrian tradition.
Terrior:
Grapes are grown in the Valnerina region of Umbria at around 220 m altitude, on northeast-facing vines trained in Guyot with roughly 5,700 plants per hectare. Soils are clay-loam with good drainage and moderate vitality.
Appearance:
Bright ruby red with youthful clarity and gentle viscosity.
Nose:
Earthy and spicy aromas open with intense red fruit—fresh cherry, red currant, and sour cherry—layered with herbal and vegetal undertones.
Palate:
Medium-bodied, with juicy red fruit (cherry, currant) and fresh acidity. Tannins are present but polished, giving grip without weight. A savory herbal dimension adds interest, offering an energetic balance between fruit and structure.
Finish:
Clean and persistent—fruit notes linger with hints of spice and a gentle mineral edge, leaving the palate refreshed and poised.
Overall Impression:
A captivating natural-style blend that combines drinkability with authenticity. Versatile and food-friendly—great with salami, roasted red meats, or aged cheeses. Drink through 2026.
