SANGIOVESE RIVE
SANGIOVESE is the most traditional red wine of the Province of Pesaro.
Fattoria Mancini cultivates it on the coastal hills of the Monte San Bartolo Natural Park, where it develops distinctive characteristics typical of the variety, yet quite different from the warmer tones it takes on further south in the rest of the Marche or in neighboring Romagna. In this area, the cool microclimate and sandstone soil allow the production of a wine in which significant structure is combined with freshness and elegance.
The Sangiovese produced from the Rive Alta vineyard is bottled separately under its own label, RIVE.
