Podere Riosto is located in the hills at the south of Bologna (Pianoro), 75 km from Florence and 16 km from Bologna city center.
Podere Riosto, 350 m above sea level, benefits from great solar exposure, good ventilation, warm daytime and cool nights.
Winters are cold with plenty of snowfall and summers are long and hot: the combination of these factors is key for great wines. The soil is composed of sand (50%), lime (25%) and clay (25%) and was created during the prehistoric age of Pliocene. At that time the sea moved into the Apennine basin leaving precious sediments.
Podere Riosto is a unique piece of ancient history just outside Bologna: the landscape is typical of the Apennine mountains (which run the length of the Italian peninsula).
Our grapes DOC from Colli Bolognesi are:
Pignoletto (5,41 hectares)
Sauvignon (2,06 hectares)
Chardonnay (0,96 hectare)
Barbera (2,72 hectares)
Cabernet (2,70 hectares)
Merlot (1,34 hectares)
Vite del Fantini (0,66 hectares)
The harvest is done by hand.
The low yield per hectare exalts the organoleptic and olfactory characteristics and to obtain high quality wines.
