Castelluccio
Owned by the renowned oenologist Vittorio Fiore, Castelluccio was originally founded in the 1970s. In the
1980s Vittorio Fiore became the consulting winemaker and in 1999 he purchased the majority of shares in
the property.
“Le More” Sangiovese di Romagna DOC
“Le More” refers to the blackberry character of this deep and lively Sangiovese di Romagna. The grapes
are harvested from the end of September to mid-October, then fermented and aged in stainless steel in
order to retain the fresh and fruity character of the wine.
Ronco dei Ciliegi IGT di Forli Rosso
The name “Ronco dei Ciliegi” means “Vineyard of the Cherry Trees”—a nod to the two large, old cherry
trees found by the vineyard. The Sangiovese grapes for this wine are planted on south eastern facing
slopes for maximum sun exposure and are harvested during the first week of October. The wine is
fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged in French oak for 12 months.
