The Papiano Centesimino di Villa Papiano is produced with pure Centesimino grapes cultivated in the area of Modigliana (FC) near the National Park of Casentino Forests. The reference vineyard, planted in 1980, grows on sandy soils originated from sandstone rock at an altitude of about 480 meters above sea level. The farming and training methods conform to the principles of organic agriculture, including practices inspired by biodynamic farming. The red winemaking process involved spontaneous alcoholic fermentation activated by indigenous yeasts. Aging took place for several months in concrete and for 18 months in the bottle. Centesimino is a semi-aromatic red grape variety typical of the Faenza area (RA), locally known as Sauvignon Rosso due to similar organoleptic characteristics.
