Reserva.

Tenuta Del Principe operates across the Romagna hills of Emilia-Romagna, where clay-limestone soils and continental-influenced elevation create conditions favoring Sangiovese's acidity and tannin ripeness. The Sereso Riserva designation signals minimum 3 years aging before release, with a significant portion matured in French oak, a choice that distinguishes it from traditionally neutral-vessel Romagna bottlings.

The wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel before transfer to oak, where it develops secondary complexity over an extended élevage. This technique—common in modern Romagna but still minority practice—layers vanilla and spice onto the varietal's cherry-stone core without masking terroir.

Riserva status and oak investment mark this as a serious expression of Sangiovese Superiore, positioned for 8–12 years of cellar development. Current drinking reveals the structure that extended aging builds; patience rewards with integrated oak and evolved aromatics.
