The Romagna DOC wine designation is produced in the Romagna sub-region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. This area encompasses the eastern part of the region, stretching from the Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic Sea. This area is characterized by its diverse landscapes, including rolling hills and coastal plains. The climate is influenced by the sea, with hot summers and mild winters, providing favorable conditions for grape cultivation.
The Romagna DOC designation has a rich history that dates back centuries. Winemaking traditions in the region can be traced to ancient times, with evidence of viticulture during the Roman era. Over time, the area developed its own distinct winemaking practices and grape varieties, with Sangiovese emerging as the flagship grape of Romagna. The designation was established in 2011 to protect and promote the quality and authenticity of the wines produced in the region.
The production of Romagna DOC wines focuses on showcasing the characteristics of the Sangiovese grape. The wines are typically medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and flavors of red berries, cherries, and herbs. The DOC regulations also allow for white and rosé wines that can be produced with several grape varieties, including Trebbiano, Albana, Bombino and Sangiovese.
