Casteldelci

In the sparsely populated highlands of Casteldelci, where just 349 residents live along Rimini's mountainous border, the unique alpine climate fosters 16 protected denominations. This pristine environment shapes the terroir for Rimini DOC wines, produced across a selective zone of 26 municipalities, and the delicate Casciotta d'Urbino DOP, a historical sheep-and-cow milk cheese crafted within a 57-municipality boundary. The rugged, high-altitude pastures of this Emilia-Romagna outpost provide the ideal conditions that define these specialized local flavors, offering an authentic taste of a territory untouched by intensive modern agriculture.
