| Le Rocche Malatestiane is a wine cooperative
that was established in 1994 by the merging of the most ancient vine-growing and
wine-producing structures of the Rimini province. The cooperative was named after the Rimini rule
of Sigismondo
Pandolfo Malatesti, the most famous figure of the family, lord of
Rimini in 1400. Today, there are 990 vine-growing members
managing 800 hectares (about 2000 acres) of vinegards. Tasting notes: Warm, round and full in texture, this wonderful wine offers a delightfully complex combination of earthy, red-berry fruit aromas and flavors, together with a long, long finish. |
