PIPINO IL BELLO
RAVENNA BIANCO IGT – IGP ORGANIC GRAPE
100% Famoso grapes, a variety recognised and authorised since 16/06/2009 as an indigenous white grape of the Ravenna plains, promoted by the Bagnacavallo consortium and registered as Rambëla.

“Pipino il Bello” refers to the new label collection, Bandits of Rogmagna, designed and released by Randi winery. Pipino was a bandit that robbed the coaches and carriages of wealthy local people. According to the chronicles of the time, he ended his unlawful activities on October 27, 1812. Named after Pipino il Bello himself, this white wine springs from the most select berries of the liveliest, ripest grapes of the Famoso varietal.

A bright and lively colour with a noticeable greenish tinge. Legs that are visible and close together and descend fairly rapidly. Definite aromas of citrus and candied fruits on the nose with notes of sweet paprika, basil and oily nuts such as almonds and pine nuts; hints of ripe or perhaps dried nectarine and white winter melon jam. Palate entry is full and bold, with a slight bitter edge that, ather than jarring, adds to the flavourful nature of this wine which follows the acidity – rotundity – bitterness sequence to perfection.
Slight hints of new wood contribute to the sensations of rotundity and fullness that are well balanced and magnify the wine’s enjoyment even at higher temperatures.
Food pairings: spaghetti with pesto; cacciucco seafood soup; rye bread with celery salt, anchovies with burrata.
