Drei Donà - Tenuta La Palazza

Via del Tesoro, 23
47100 Forlì (Forlì e Cesena)
Italy
The Drei Don Estate is situated on the ancient Romagna hills among the towns of Forlì, Castrocaro and Predappio and in strategic position at the mouth of the valleys of the rivers Rabbi and Montone, around one of the guard towers that Caterina Sforza in 1481 built in defense of her territories.



The estate has been belonging to the Drei Don counts since the beginning of the century, and has always been dedicated to the production of Sangiovese grapes.



With the advent of the current owner Claudio Drei Don, who abandoned his forensic activity to devote himself full time to the company, and later of his son
Enrico, radical changes which give a decisive turn to the approximately 27 hectares of the property began.



There are 23 hectares of vines, most of which are obviously dedicated to Sangiovese di Romagna, whose old plants were the subject of a special study and selection which then led to their restoration through the replanting of the mass selection of Palazza.



From these you will get the "Pruno" selection reserve, the real wine of the company, and the resulting second wine Sangiovese "Notturno". In addition to this, two small vineyards also produce Chardonnay and Riesling "Il Torinese" and the Cabernet Sauvignon "Magnificat", and from a very small plot of vineyard of only 0.85 hectares with three different grapes they make, not in all vintages, "Graf Noir" Great Reserve.



The philosophy of the company is of the utmost rigor: the wines produced here are the result of a severe work in the vineyard, before, and in the winery, then, the purest expression of our terroir of Massa di Vecchiazzano in the hills of central Romagna.

In the estate, also two aged grappa and an extra virgin olive oil are produced.



A special mention is deserved by the names of the wines: all were baptized with the names of the horses of the small family’s stable.
