Colli di Faenza
Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities
Recognized since 2004 in Emilia-Romagna, the Colli di Faenza DOC diverges from typical regional styles through its strict blending requirements. Unlike standard Romagna designations, the base Rosso here requires Cabernet Sauvignon to comprise at least 40% of the blend, coupled with an equal minimum of Ancellotta, Ciliegiolo, Merlot, or Sangiovese. Grown in seven municipalities including Brisighella, these vines are restricted to a maximum yield of 9.0 tonnes per hectare. This deliberate pairing of international and local varieties produces a deep ruby wine with an ethereal, pleasantly herbaceous aroma, offering a distinctive, slightly tannic profile that sets it apart from nearby monovarietal counterparts.
