In Romagna people were accustomed to give a nickname to the peasant families that was then handed down from
father to son, a tradition which, similarly to our dialect, is going to die.
“Bron” and “Rusèval” were and will be the nicknames of the families Sirri and Casadei respectively.
Producing a good quality wine and identifying it with this name is a unique occasion to continue a tradition that would
have hardly survived over the time. The project was born years ago when the farm decided to test the potential
capacities of its lands as well as its technical abilities with international grapes like the Chardonnay and the Cabernet.

2019 VINTAGE FEATURES

We can consider 2019 the last “normal” one: after it, Covid, drought, war, crisis of the supply chain, high inflation, floodings in our region…That is why I have good memories of when it rained every couple of weeks and I could witness the grapes ripen slowly.

Bron&Ruseval Sangiovese Cabernet 2019 displays a very thick, bright purple colour. On the nose, red berries and black currant; powerful mouth with good acidity. This wine can be certainly cellared.
