Grapes

"Colli Romagna Centrale" white wine is made from Chardonnay grapes, for a share between 50% and 60%, and from Bombino, Sauvignon bianco, Trebbiano and Pinot bianco, for a further share between 40% and 50% (present alone or in combination). The red wine, on the other hand, has a percentage between 50% and 60% of Cabernet Sauvignon and for the remaining part contribute, alone or in combination, Sangiovese, Barbera, Merlot and Montepulciano. Cabernet Sauvignon and Trebbiano are produced with grapes from vineyards composed for at least 85% of the corresponding vine (Cabernet Sauvignon and Trebbiano romagnolo) and for a maximum of 15% of other similar grapes, suitable for cultivation in Emilia Romagna. Finally, Chardonnay and Sangiovese are produced in purity, with 100% of grapes from the relevant vine.
