Forlì

About the wine

The Forlì IGT covers the entire administrative territory of the Forlì-Cesena province in the Emilia-Romagna region. This area features a diverse landscape ranging from the Apennine mountains to the alluvial plains, characterized by the prevalent 'Marnoso-arenacea' geological formation. The climate, measured by the Winkler index, varies significantly from the cooler mountain slopes to the warmer plains, allowing for the successful cultivation of a wide array of grape varieties. The IGT is highly permissive, allowing for white, red, and rosato wines in various styles, including still, frizzante, spumante, novello, and passito. The disciplinare emphasizes the historical viticultural tradition of the region, dating back to Roman times, and highlights how the specific pedoclimatic conditions—particularly the well-drained, calcareous soils—contribute to the structural and aromatic complexity of the wines. Producers have significant flexibility in varietal selection, provided the grapes are authorized for cultivation in Emilia-Romagna.
