BISCARDO - ENIGMA, 750ml

Enigma Sangiovese IGT Rubicone is intended for lovers of full-bodied, complex and elegant red wines with rich fruity character, soft tannins and a long finish. It is ideal for Sangiovese connoisseurs and those who prefer more concentrated wines produced using the Appassimento technique. Enigma is particularly well suited to relaxed, contemplative tasting as a meditation wine, as well as pairing with meat dishes, game and aged cheeses.

Enigma is an Italian red wine with the Rubicone IGT designation, made from 100% Sangiovese grapes in the Emilia-Romagna region. Its production uses the Appassimento technique, in which the grapes undergo a partial drying process that concentrates their characteristics.

The producer describes Enigma as a wine with a very intense, deep purple colour. Its bouquet is harmonious, with characteristic notes of blackberries and raspberries, while the palate is velvety and balanced, with soft, sweet tannins on the finish and additional notes of blackberries, raspberries and spices. The alcohol content is 15%, and the recommended serving temperature is 18–20°C. The official Biscardo online shop lists the bottle size as 750 ml.

Enigma stands out for being made from 100% Sangiovese and for applying the Appassimento technique to all the grapes used in its production. This technique is key to the wine’s character, contributing to its smoothness, complexity and depth.

Another distinctive feature is the combination of its intense purple colour, aromas of blackberries and raspberries, and velvety structure with well-integrated, soft and sweet tannins. According to the producer’s account, the grapes are hand-harvested in late autumn, when they have already partially dried on the vine, and are then left to undergo an additional Appassimento drying process in dedicated drying rooms.

The 100% Sangiovese grapes and the Appassimento technique create a rich fruity profile with notes of blackberries, raspberries and spices, complemented by a velvety mouthfeel and soft tannins.
