The Adriatic coastal strip that extends between the mouths of the Po in Goro and the mouth of the Reno, along the director of the Romea road, is the only area in the province of Ferrara to boast a very particular winemaking tradition. Over the centuries this tradition has spread with the same characteristics up to the current Cervia, in the province of Ravenna.
The vineyards along the coast, grown on sandy hillocks amid holm oak woods – low vines, with a production per plant ranging from 2 to 4 kg – have resisted up to the present day, passing unscathed even through the scourge of phylloxera, which at the beginning of the century practically destroyed Italian viticulture.
The particularly humid environment, the brackish air and soil, the sea that mitigates the seasons are other elements that contribute to the formation of the character of these wines, unique in their kind.
