Uve Portate A Cesena is a red wine produced by Cantine Leonardo Da Vinci, part of the 1502 Da Vinci in Romagna collection, which recounts the journey of the Italian genius in Romagna. Let the rich flavor of the Sangiovese red grape guide you, helping to better understand how Leonardo observed and discovered winemaking techniques ahead of their time.
The label of Uve Portate A Cesena features Leonardo's drawing of hanging bunches of grapes – a very common sight in the Romagna wine-producing region. During his time working for Duke Cesare Borgia in this land, the wine genius had the opportunity to taste local wines, leading him to accurate conclusions about the relationship between fermentation methods and wine flavor. The painting of the bunches of grapes, along with other sketches of wine and grape cultivation, shows that Leonardo dedicated a significant amount of time to observing the grapevine. This curiosity through observation seems to have been the driving force behind Da Vinci's problem-solving, always seeking ways to innovate and produce the most exquisite wine. Leonardo did not limit his pursuit and practice of "sapere vedere" (knowing how to see) to winemaking; he applied it to almost every area of his life. The Italian genius also had his own philosophy: viewing innovation and creativity as means to drive progress and solve complex problems. It is thanks to his progressive and forward-thinking perspective that human history not only boasts a talented painter but also a wine genius, a military genius, a mathematician, a scientist, and an anatomist… Leonardo Da Vinci.
Uve Portate A Cesena is made from the Sangiovese grape, the primary grape variety of the Chianti region. Sangiovese lends the wine a good tannin structure and balanced acidity.
Uve Portate A Cesena is the perfect choice for lavish feasts. The wine's bold flavor will pair wonderfully with red meat dishes such as steak, grilled lamb, and BBQ ribs. The wine's tannins will balance the richness of the meat, creating a harmonious flavor profile. In addition, Uve Portate A Cesena is also very suitable for strongly flavored dishes such as aged cheeses and spicy cuisine. Uve Portate A Cesena is a heritage of the precious wine legacies of the Italian genius, combined with the modern and creative interpretation of the Cantine Leonardo Da Vinci winemakers. This wine not only has an exquisite flavor but also shares the story of Leonardo, allowing future generations to feel and constantly praise the wine genius with every raised glass.
