Tenuta La Viola Estate is located in Emilia Romagna on the rolling hills of Bertinoro, on the slopes overlooking the sea. Bertinoro, in the heart of the Romagna, is a medieval village on top of a hill. The view from here takes in the slopes, the plains and the Adriatic Sea. It is a land that has always been renowned for its special wine-making vocation and the hospitality of its people, not to mention the local passion for cooking, racing and art.

The Gabellini family, owner of the estate, moved from the inland Romagna to Bertinoro and in 1962 purchased the land with Sangiovese and Albana vineyards, then bush trained. Wine was an important part of the farming tradition, and serving it on the table meant sharing with guests one’s love and pride in the fruits of one’s labour.

We have always believed in organic farming, which we have practiced with certification since 1999. No chemical insecticides are used on our crops, preserving public health and that of the vines themselves, enabling each vineyard to maintain its natural equilibrium, its aromas intact, its vibrant colours and enveloping harmonious atmosphere.

For us, wine is a tradition and passion that permanently binds us to our land. We firmly believe that the history, experience, dedication and professionalism of the people who work it all come together in the quality and character of the wines it produces, making them unique.
