"While we are able to appreciate the magnificent artistry of every single, distinct characteristic, what most strikes our senses on tasting this Romagna D.O.C. Sangiovese Appassimento – making an indelible impression on our gustatory memory - is the whole, the overall picture, the wine in its most concrete totality. It is precisely for this reason that to represent Impavido we have chosen a special image, a fantastic animal inspired by classical symbolism and medieval heraldic tradition that can represent this special concept of the whole: singular in all its parts, inimitable in its entirety."
Tasting Notes
The enchanting vermilion colour captivates the gaze, so dense and bright, bloodlike, with sumptuous carmine red reflections that make it simply irresistible.
From the first consistent movement in the glass, Impavido immediately reveals both its impressive structure and its aromatic richness, releasing ripe and juicy scents that invite you to draw closer to the glass. To the nose the opening is dominated by tertiary notes of sweet wood and spices - cinnamon and clove – brought to a perfect conclusion by the subsequent emergence of powerful hints of well-ripened red fruit, blackberry jam and a gentle hint of violet.
On tasting we can appreciate the triumph of a warm, sweet softness, in which the notes of plum in alcohol and black cherry jam stand out again, enhanced by a surprising balsamic note on conclusion which strengthens the aromatic persistence on the palate. The contribution of tannin is most remarkable: clean, well developed, it also contributes to completing and prolonging the magnificent sensation of taste of this Romagna D.O.C. Sangiovese Appassimento, preparing us for the next sip.
A wine with exceptional organoleptic characteristics, Impavido offers a unique, out of the ordinary tasting experience, absolutely essential for any sincere wine lover.

Conte Zardi Wines
The diffusion of viticulture in Romagna can certainly be traced back to the Roman era when, after the foundation of the Forum Cornelii (today's Imola) all the surrounding territories were destined for agriculture. In addition to the production of
foodstuffs necessary to sustain the population of the new urban centre, wine production occupied a position of absolute importance because, as well as trying to extend the consumption of wine to the most humble of the urban social classes and even to slaves, the drink also found other uses in daily life in the form of painkiller and disinfectant as well as, naturally, an offering pleasing to the gods. In this context a production of wine was developed that was orientated more to great quantity than to great quality, with yields reaching almost 30,000 litres per hectare.
Following a period of crisis, during which it was replaced with substitutes of the most varied order, in the Middle Ages wine quickly became popular again - and regained its popularity as the common drink in the daily life of the rural population - thanks mainly to its liturgical significance. After all, it is to the early-medieval ecclesiastical hierarchies - which in Romagna exercised significant power – that we attribute a valuable contribution to the conservation and propagation of viticulture: there were numerous incentives to extend the vineyards in the reclaimed areas, and even taxes could be lightened for wine makers and cultivators of vineyards. A Bolognese statutory provision of 1259 even introduced the obligation to guarantee the presence of two tornatura of vineyard (about 2/5 hectares) supported by at least ten fruit trees in each agricultural estate.
Although not with the same intensity of the Early Middle Ages, wine in Romagna continued, over the centuries, to play an
absolutely leading role within rural everyday life, being used as much by the monks providing hospitality for pilgrims as by local lordships as an important source of income, but also playing a leading role in the popular symbolic system, in permanent balance between the sacred and the pagan sphere.
An example are the so-called "sagre", popular festivals originally celebrated in front of the Churches (hence the term "sagrato" for churchyard) that celebrated, at more or less regular intervals, communion between men and the sacred, but also to celebrate a harvest or promote a local product. On such occasions the eno-gastronomic dimension played a leading role and wine in particular was a fundamental part of the celebration.
Even today, firmly entrenched in the cultural baggage of the populations of each specific region, can be found customs and symbolisms that testify to these ancient traditions. Romagna, a region with an identity strongly, and equally proudly, preserved and handed down, is certainly no exception. It thus continues to give wine a pivotal role within its own symbolic apparatus.
If Romagna, therefore, represents an area whose geographical boundaries have been debated for centuries without ever arriving at a unanimous definition, it nevertheless finds a common thread in its history and in the character of its people. The historian Lucio Gambi wrote that "romagnolity is primarily a state of mind, an island of feeling, a way of seeing and behaving", to be defined not with physical or administrative limits but rather through human behaviour, such as an area in which, asking for a drink, the spontaneous offer is wine and not water.
