Mercato Saraceno

Home to fewer than seven thousand residents in the province of Forlì-Cesena, Mercato Saraceno channels its steep clay slopes and temperate microclimate into 19 protected denominations. This rugged landscape is the cradle of the Colli Romagna centrale DOC, a wine designation limited to a zone of 22 municipalities. Here, local soils give distinct structural complexity to native grapes. Today, 2 verified producers craft these expressive wines within the municipality, with 1 cellar open for tastings, allowing visitors to experience firsthand the distinct alpine-influenced viticulture that defines this specific pocket of Romagna.
