Winery
Located in the Forlì hills in the Bidente Valley, between the Apennines and the Tuscan border, an area with excellent pedoclimatic characteristics for the production of high quality wines. The history of Poderi dal Nespoli is rooted in four generations of winemakers from Romagna, who have believed deeply in their territory and its fruits, enhancing their production through constant research and improvement. In 2010 began the partnership between the Ravaioli family and the Mondodelvino group, Poderi dal Nespoli wines are present in many international markets, thanks also to the innovative push of a cutting-edge technology, introduced in all phases of grape processing and wine aging, which has allowed an improvement in the quality profile in full respect of the most authentic processes. The first generation began by establishing the Osteria "Da Tilio," which in a short time became one of the most popular destinations for Romagnoli in the area, serving what is called "house wine." With the second generation comes to the family the Podere Prugneto and the first productions of sangiovese from their own grapes and later the first two white wines based on Albana and Trebbiano. In the mid-1960s there is a decisive turning point, believing strongly that Sangiovese di Romagna is a grape variety from which to obtain high-profile wines, and for this he decides to introduce two important innovations: decreasing the production of grapes per hectare and using French barriques for the first time for aging. Today Poderi dal Nespoli wines are high quality wines, in whose spirit the dream of Alfeo Martini and that of the Ravaioli family meet: to bring great Romagna quality to international markets.
