Colli d'Imola DOC
A catch-all DOC for the strip of hills between the Bologna and Faenza zones, allowing almost every grape grown in the area. In practice it's used for Sangiovese, Cabernet blends and Chardonnay from estates that want a local name rather than the broad Romagna DOC. Expect medium-weight reds with sour cherry, plum and modest oak, and clean, unremarkable whites. Tre Monti and Tenuta Nasano are the main names.
