At the pinnacle of Pandolfa’s Sangiovese range lies the Riserva “Pandolfo”, a wine that captures the essence of Emilia-Romagna’s sun-drenched vineyards and centuries of winemaking tradition. Grapes for the Riserva are carefully selected from the best parcels and aged longer in fine oak barrels, giving the wine remarkable depth, structure, and complexity.
This Riserva tells a story of patience and dedication. From the vineyard to the bottle, every step is designed to preserve the purity of the fruit while allowing the Sangiovese to develop nuanced aromas, polished tannins, and a lingering, velvety finish. It’s a wine that rewards both immediate enjoyment and cellaring — ideal for special occasions or indulgent evenings in Ireland where premium Italian reds are appreciated.
Why we love it:The Riserva exudes sophistication. Layers of ripe cherries, plums, and Mediterranean herbs meld with gentle spice, earthy undertones, and subtle oak influence. It’s a structured yet elegant red that embodies the best of traditional Italian winemaking while feeling utterly modern and approachable. In Ireland, it offers wine lovers a rare opportunity to experience a top-tier Sangiovese that pairs effortlessly with rich foods and celebratory moments.
