Floral with notes of broom and hawthorn, intertwined with aromatic herbs and ripe apricot. On the palate, it is fresh, dry, and light, offering a generous expression of fruit and floral aromas that seamlessly carry through from the nose. Isola is crafted from Albana grapes, a lesser-known local varietal of Romagna.
The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a cold press maceration at 13°C for 10-12 hours, preserving the delicate aromas. The wine then undergoes a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, maintained at a controlled temperature of 16-18°C. It is aged for 5 months in stainless steel, with 3 of those months on the lees, enhancing texture and complexity. After a minimum of 3 months of bottle refinement, the wine is released, showcasing its balanced and elegant character.
Balìa di Zola is situated in Modigliana, a picturesque town and valley in the Romagna area, the southern part of the Emilia-Romagna region. For many years the Tuscans have been at the forefront of Sangiovese production, but just across the regional border, nestled in the foothills of the Apennines, Modigliana produce beautiful expressions of this noble grape variety. Sangiovese di Romagna is one of Italy’s best kept secrets, but thanks to producers such as Balìa di Zola who tirelessly work to preserve and promote their regional heritage, this underrated gem is flourishing.
