Randi for Vinovore Sssupermoon Red

Sssupermoon Red is 100% Centesimino — also called Sauvignon Rosso — grown on the alluvial sand and gravel plains between Fusignano and Alfonsine in the province of Ravenna, Emilia-Romagna. The wine is produced under the Ravenna IGT designation. Centesimino is one of the rarest red grapes in Italy: nearly wiped out by phylloxera, it was saved in the mid-20th century by Pietro Pianori of Faenza, who found surviving vines in a walled garden that had shielded them from the epidemic. All existing vines descend from those cuttings. The grape was added to Italy's national register of varieties in 2004.

The Vinovore label is a collaboration between Cantina Randi and Coly Den Haan, the Los Angeles-based sommelier and owner of Vinovore, a wine shop specializing in natural wines made by women. Cantina Randi is a family estate founded in the late 1800s and now run by brothers Denis and Massimo Randi across roughly 63 hectares in the Romagna plains. The winery has been certified organic since 2021.

Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts. The wine ages for six months in stainless steel and is bottled unfiltered with low added sulfites. Centesimino naturally produces low-tannin, highly aromatic wines — the nose here leads with red rose petals, wild violets, and orange blossom, followed by mountain berries and anise. On the palate it is dry and light-bodied, with pomegranate acidity, white pepper, and a persistent herbal-cherry finish. Serve slightly chilled.
