Gregorina

 
 
Gregorina is situated in the Province of Forlì-Cesena in the Municipality of Castrocaro -Terra del Sole.
Terra del Sole is a small hamlet founded in the XVI century by the Medici, the famed Florentine dynasty, as the administrative and judicial headquarters of their properties in Romagna. The Medici mark is not the only thing this area has in common with Tuscany. There are profound similarities between the two hilly landscapes and both areas boast similar cultivations: on the slopes of the Terra del Sole, you’ll primarily find large stretches of sunflowers, olive groves and vineyards. Gregorina gets its name from a company-owned farmhouse called ‘Gregorine’ that’s nestled amidst 40 hectares of hilly territory cultivated with vineyards.

Emilia Romagna

The strongly individual characteristics of Emilia-Romagna wines make them northern Italy's most eccentric.;The climate is characterized by warm and sultry summers and rigid winters with abundant precipitation and frequent days of fog and cold. Along the coastal Adriatic the climate is milder; on the mountains abundant rains and snowfalls are frequent.; Snow falls also in the lowlands however here the snow immediately vanishes and is loosened by the wind. In Romagna, wines are made primarily from the native Sangiovese, Trebbiano and Albana grapes. Albana di Romagna, which became Italy's first DOCG white wine in 1987, is usually dry and still with a distinctive almond undertone and finish. The traditional semisweet and bubbly version of Albana Spumante is a rich and sweet passito made from partly-dried grapes. Another Romagna white, the Trebbiano di Romagna, is often light and fresh and, whether still or bubbly, has a fragility that renders it best in its youth.;
