The Story
Traces of the use of Sangiovese vines in Romagna are lost in ancient times, but the first written mention of the existence of Sangiovese wine dates back to an ancient notarial deed from 1672, found in Faenza, Emilia Romagna, in which a woman leased a vineyard to the town priest: three rows of Sangiovese. It is therefore a grape variety that has long been cultivated in Romagna, and which was recognized as a Controlled Designation of Origin in 1967. The Sangiovese production area includes 55 municipalities in the provinces of Bologna, Forlì-Cesena, Ravenna, and Rimini; these areas are united by the presence of clayey soils and have high percentages of magnesium and tuff. For a wine to be called Romagna Sangiovese, it must be made from at least 85% Sangiovese di Romagna grapes grown in this area. The remaining 15% can be made from other red grape varieties from the Emilia-Romagna region. The Noelia Ricci winery has been producing Sangiovese on the family property in the Valle dei Rabbi since the 1970s.
