The best wineries in Forlì e Cesena.
Fattoria Ca 'Rossa has been located on the Bertinoro hills for three generations. In 1935 the vineyards and olive groves were planted by my grandfather Ugo. Ubaldo, my father built the cellar in 1960. Our land extends for 15 hectares on the Bertinoro hills. Since the 90's the company has been run by me, Massimo, and by my wife Liana Landini. Together, with passion and love, we have given a turn to the production, the image and the quality of the company both in the countryside and in the cellar: here we find the typical wines of the territory of which we respect the intrinsic characteristics using the ancient and classic production methods , which enhance the aromas and flavors, while using modern equipment and thus obtaining great products. In each sip of wine the story of a family united by the love of viticulture and their land.
Azienda Agricola Villa Papiano, situated in Modigliana, extends on the south slope of Mount Chioda at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level from the mountain to the bottom of the valley, to the river Ibola.
The total area is of approximately 60 hectares, of which 10 are vineyards and the remainders are divided among olive groves, arable land and forests.
The absolute peculiarity of the habitat, the fertility of the soil, the geographical location of the Tuscan–Romagna Appennine and the specificity of the vineyards prompted us to carry out an ambitious wine and of environmental recovery project.
The professionalism of the group, agronomic research united to the interest for innovation are the cornerstones of the project of Villa Papiano.
Papiano is a frontier settlement, built in the second half of the fourteenth century under the rule of the Medici family.
Villa Papiano is a small stone castle, which followingly belonged to the Papiani family, nobles of Modigliana, who in the late seventeenth century was enhanced by a village with houses and a small church at the service of the structure, becoming witness to a transformation from frontier garrison to a center of agricultural, farming and wood exploitation activities.
Even today you can breathe the air of yesteryear, as it has remained untouched by the presence of man, and dominates a large valley of fields and woods.
Poderi dal Nespoli: a historical reality in Romagna, where family tradition is combined with a new business project. Poderi dei Nespoli has the goal of creating a reality that, in some respects, can not currently be found in the area.
In an era of outsourcing, of deconstruction trends and "depersonalisation" of productive activities, we want to go against the tide: we want to create a new corporate culture in the places where we grew up, we want to increase a know–how that will bring knowledge in the lands we live.
A new model of work, solidly based on local traditions, but looking ahead, with an international flair, with the desire and the will to become an Italian excellence in the world.
The company covers about 12 hectares that stretch on the slopes of the beautiful hill of Montemaggio, in Bertinoro, in the heart of Romagna.
Here, since 1992, after a careful clonal study, at an altitude between 200 and 350 meters above sea level we planted our vineyards, all with high–density planting, about 7,000 plants per hectare, a low yield per vine, with the ideal exposure to the south–west.
And here our vineyards have found a land and an enviable climate, punctuated as they are by olive trees and patches of forest, whose fragrances are blended with those that come from the sea.
Fattoria Paradiso, former Castello Ugarte Lovatelli, stands on a hilly knoll alongside the medieval Bertinoro.
Ancient documents indicate its origin in the fifteenth century, although the Roman period can not be excluded. The location of the hill overlooking the Via Emilia, in effect, together with time vestiges returned by the soil that now houses the Molino Vine, lead us to consider them a strategic vantage point of observation of the wagons in transit on the Consular and the seat of country villas of the period.
The villa and adjoining land, owned by the Countess Gabriella Ugarte Lovatelli, the last heir of the namesake patrician family, was purchased by the Pezzi family, at the end of the nineteenth century.
The ancient dwelling is related to the birth of Marco Palmezzano, a disciple of Melozzo da Forlì. This is confirmed by the initials of the M.P. master (symbolic and surprising coincidence with those of Mario Pezzi) carved on the stone pediment of the monumental chimney of the apartment that Fattoria Paradiso offers to its distinguished guests.
We like to remember, among others, the sculptor Giacomo MANZU, the American Ambassador Dina LUCE, the writer Julien GREEN, the Nobel laureate Dario FO, the writer and poet Anthony BURGESS, the actor Danny KEY, the Russian astronaut Valentina TERESKOVA, and the American Karhin THORTON, and countless characters of art, culture, theater, film, politics.
These people, and the frequent succession of dinners, round tables, conferences, concerts and events of various culture, that the Pezzi family has always elegantly housed in environments of great distinction and accommodation skillfulness, have made Fattoria Paradiso meritorious of the title
of Cultural Lounge of Romagna.
Founded in 1963, owned by the Sirri and Casadei families (BRON & RUSEVAL) since 1965, and since then the accurate selection of the grapes from small farms located in the area, have given interesting results from the qualitative point of view.
In 1985 the renovation of the winemaking facilities began, and above all, a new philosophy that drives us towards the constant search for quality and the typicality of the wines we produce.
In 1995 the company develops the agricultural sector purchasing and planting new vineyards. Currently, we carefully select the grapes from 39.40 hectares of vineyards situated in the most suitable areas of the town of Bertinoro.
The Castelluccio farm was founded in the 70s, with the agronomic advice of Mr. Remigio Bordini and later with the advice of the oenologist Vittorio Fiore.
The first 6 hectares were made with important and avant–garde technical innovations for those times, which soon led to the achievement of extraordinary results, such as the creation of wines like Sangiovese Ronco delle Ginestre and the acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc, Ronco del Re, all wines from individual vineyards.
In 1999 Vittorio Fiore, involving his brothers Ermanno and Gianmichele and his son Claudio – oenologist, too – acquired the majority of shares, joining in this way the previous corporate structure, composed of the same Remigio Bordini, Augusto Valentini, Gianalfredo Bernabucci and Diego Amaducci.
Vittorio, who in the early 80s created, as a consultant, the wines of Castelluccio and contributed firsthand to the success of the company – which soon achieved international fame – provides technical support of considerable importance, thanks to its professionalism.
Castelluccio has always been considered to be the first innovative company in Romagna.
Azienda CAMPODELSOLE was founded by Bertinoro in 2003 thanks to the Isoldi family who, engaged in the ongoing research of a better quality of life, decided to bring in the winemaking industry the same excellence which boasts the construction industry. In this way, a new wine cellar and a new way of making and producing wine was established, that brings back the tradition joining innovation.
Azienda Agricola Calonga is located in the first hills of the Forlì territory and covers more or less 10 hectares.
Maurizio Baravelli in 1977 purchased the company and gave it a family management. Immediately, the new vineyards of Sangiovese and Cabernet–Sauvignon were planted alongside the old clones of Sangiovese and Albana already present, creating a blend of modernity and tradition that skillfully, over the years, the passion of Maurizio has managed to exploit.
A renewed commitment arose in 1999, thanks to the completion of the new winery and the beginning of the collaboration with the oenologist Fabrizio Moltard.
The Braschi wines have been telling for over 70 years the story of this passion that feeds on the patient care of vineyards in Tenuta del Gelso, situated on a hill where you can enjoy the view of the harmonious vineyards’ slopes, to go down the plain. The Braschi company is a medium–small farm that bottles and sells the DOC wines from 20 hectares of vineyards on the agricultural estate of Tenuta del Gelso. Alberto, Andrea and Gabriele personally take care of the vineyards, harvesting the grapes and making wine.
Attilio Pagli and Leonardo Conti care about he production of three wines of this company founded by Stefano Berti in Ravaldino in Monte, a small locality in the province of Forlì. Calisto 2006 has not been presented, considered at the time of our tastings not ready, yet. Of the two products tasted, Ravaldo stands out for tone and personality, an interesting wine that enjoying a further period of aging in the bottle will be the full expression of the territory due to its energetic character.
The company is among the oldest of Romagna, the Bartolini family has been operating for four generations in the village of San Damiano in Mercato Saraceno. A renewal process enhances the Sangiovese, Albana native grape varieties and the use of international ones. Owner: the Bartolini family. Responsible for winemaking: Roberto Bartolini. Bottles produced: 200,000.
Since 1885 the Fattoria Casetto dei Mandorli winery has been producing fine wines in Predappio Alta, an area of great historical importance in the viticulture of Romagna.
Since the year 1000, as reported by the municipal statutes of the time, the local economy has been based on the production of Sangiovese in numerous vineyards divided by feudal lordships among the "vinegrowers", who carefully cultivated the tree of Bacchus.
Giuseppe Nicolucci is the heir of three generations of winemakers, who have always lovingly cared for the historic vineyards of the family in Predappio Alta and for the ancient underground cellars, where Sangiovese reinforces in oak.
Fattoria Casetto dei Mandorli is the typical Italian family–run winery, based on the concept that vines, soil and climate are all one; this is why it continues to be the point of reference of Romagna and the forerunner of producers of Sangiovese. Today the winery and vineyards are managed with the same principles by Alessandro, winemaker and fourth generation of the family.
Predappio has its own microclimate, its traditions and its history, all this is reflected in the wines of "Fattoria Casetto dei Mandorli".
VILLA TRENTOLA Estate stands on the Cesubeo Hill, that of the current Bertinoro, in a wonderful landscape, among green hills, fields cultivated with cereals, olive groves and vineyards. Its domination, that of Castrum Brittinori, is linked to various popular legends, among which the most reliable seems to be the one according to which Galla Placidia, wanting to enhance the goodness of the wine of these lands, that was offered to her in a crude pitcher, exclaimed: "Not of such a rough glass you are worthy, oh wine, but to be drunk in gold". The estate has been belonging to the Prugnoli family since 1890, when the grandfather Enrico bought it by the Counts Gaddi. Since then, generation after generation, the love for this land and for the art of "making" wine has been handed down. Since 2002, the first year of production, the company has changed image with the advent of the current owner, Federica Prugnoli, who after graduating in Agricultural Science and working in France in a wine research laboratory, has dedicated herself full–time to the company, with the intent of reaching increasingly high levels. "QUALITY IS THE STARTING POINT TO GET AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT!". This is her philosophy. The property covers 40 hectares of land, including 20 of vineyards, of which the biggest part is dedicated to Sangiovese di Romagna, which is the heart of the wines of the estate; another part of vineyards is dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The exposure of the vineyards, the nature of the terrain and the location inside a hillside amphitheater, include the conditions for optimal brightness and warmth to get a good maturation of the grapes and therefore great wines. To further improve the quality of the wines, Prugnoli is advised by a well–known winemaker, explaining the use in the winery of modern technologies of winemaking and wine fining.
We are in the Municipality of Modigliana, on the Romagna hills, in a surface of 15 hectares with a mix of olive groves and vineyards, wood and broom, forming an amphitheater around an old farmhouse of very ancient origins.
History tells of the existence of this Bala, already in the eighteenth century, as an agricultural reality important enough to be the residence of the “Balitore”, the person appointed by the authorities as an official responsible for the management and administration of the different estates.
Our arrival in Romagna as a family dates back to 1999 and the Bala di Zola project has as its objective the enhancement of Sangiovese di Romagna.
The work in Bala di Zola takes place first of all in the vineyard, fruit of knowledge and expertise gained and of the conviction that in this area there is everything you need to make great wines.
