The origin & the Evolution of Wine

The Biscardo family, in collaboration with a group of farmers from Emilia Romagna, crafted this distinctive Sangiovese. The grapes are harvested in late autumn when they have partially dried on the vine, handpicked, and placed in crates for further drying in controlled environments. By the end of December, a slow maceration process begins at low temperatures, with the wine remaining on the lees until March. Enigma is created entirely through this drying process, making it a 100% Appassimento. When the Biscardo family first developed the 100% IGT Rubicone Appassimento, they had everything ready – the wine, an elegantly designed heavy bottle, a striking label, a beautiful case, and the unique wine itself – all in celebration of Biscardo's 140th anniversary. Yet, one crucial element was missing: the name. One day, after finalizing the wine’s production, Maurizio and Martino Biscardo were tasting the wine with their enologist and consultant. The wine offered such an unexpected and extraordinary experience, with layers of flavor and aroma that evolved with each sip. It was unlike anything they had ever tasted – a true masterpiece. After years of hard work, they realized that each tasting revealed new, complex characteristics, making the wine a continuous discovery. While discussing the wine on their way home, Maurizio and Martino agreed it was something special, difficult to fully grasp at first but revealing amazing sensations over time. However, they still struggled with the perfect name. They considered options like "Original," "Unique," and "Unbelievable," but none felt quite right in Italian or English.

Then, suddenly, the perfect name struck them: "Enigma." The word carried meaning across multiple languages – English, Italian, and German – and captured the mysterious and evolving nature of this wine. And thus, Enigma was born, a name that encapsulates the unique, captivating qualities of the wine you now hold in your hands.
