The Pellegrini family’s wine journey began in the late 1700s in Lombardy with a tavern and evolved into wholesale trade. Their true winemaking legacy started in the 1960s with the acquisition of Fattoria di Petrognano, in the heart of Tuscany. Today, Emanuele Pellegrini, representing the fourth generation, leads the estate with a philosophy centered on tradition, sustainability, and research, exemplified in the MEME line—named in honor of Emanuele’s grandfather.

Grape Variety: 100% Sangiovese

Vinification: Fermented in stainless steel tanks, with maceration lasting about 7–10 days depending on the vineyard parcel. During fermentation, délestage and pumping over are employed to selectively extract polyphenols, preserving varietal character. The wine is then aged in steel and cement to retain clarity and intensity. The vineyard management follows a parcel-based organic approach under the Animavitis program.

Tasting Notes: The wine has an inviting ruby red color. Aromatically, it is fruity and floral, with notes of blackberry, sour cherry, violet, and cassis. On the palate, it is vibrant and firm, with well-structured but polished tannins and a pleasant fruity finish. Reflecting its youthful state, the wine captures the character of a ripe but fresh vintage.

Food Pairing: Perfect with cured meats, grilled or roasted red meats, pasta with meat sauces, and medium-aged cheeses.

Alcohol Content: 13.5% Vol.
