Colli di Rimini DOC
The southernmost Romagna hills, warmer and closer to the Adriatic, where Cabernet and Merlot ripen fully alongside Sangiovese. Rebola, the local name for Grechetto Gentile, makes a fuller, more golden white than Bologna's Pignoletto, with yellow apple, acacia honey and a saline finish, and it's also made as a passito. Reds are ripe and structured: San Patrignano's Montepirolo is a polished Bordeaux blend that outclasses its obscure label.
