description

“Trimpilin” means “trouble-maker” in the local Modena dialect. After an eight year stint at Enoteca Pinchiorri, Alberto Taddei acquired this affectionate nick-name from Giorgio Pinchiorri, originally of Modena and owner of the Enoteca. This blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cilegiolo from estate fruit in the hills just outside Pesaro on Italy’s Adriatic coast was first produced in 2002. The average elevation of the vineyards is 150 meters above sea level. The half hectare vineyard of limestone sand and clay was planted in the 1970s by Alberto's grandfather, who made wine for friends and family while the rest was sold to a local co-op. Primary fermentation in small bins with no temperature control but never goes over 28 degrees celsius. Punch down. Maceration and malo in used French barrique. Very good. High acid. Nice cherry fruit. Earthy and yellow cherry. Good lift.

This is predominantly Sangiovese, from vines planted by Alberto and Alessandro's grandfather. They are over fifty years in age, and as such are deeply rooted, providing grapes of great concentration and complexity. In our opinion, this is what you want from Sangiovese, wonderfully elegant fruit, balances with freshness, ample texture and a long, complex finish. If only you too could taste this with Mama's cooking.
