Novafeltria

Novafeltria acts as the focal point of the rugged Marecchia Valley, where maritime breezes clash with Apennine peaks to shape a distinct microclimate. This geographic position nurtures 16 protected denominations. Chief among them is Rimini DOC, a wine designation spanning a zone of 26 municipalities, which yields structured Sangiovese and crisp Biancame reflecting the local limestone soils. Alongside these vineyards, the valley's pastures support the production of Casciotta d'Urbino DOP, a historic sheep-and-cow milk cheese prized since the Renaissance, proving how Novafeltria connects coastal Adriatic influences with inland Apennine culinary traditions.
