Romagna winery focused on Sangiovese and the expression of the territory of Oriolo: territorial wines and extra virgin olive oil linked to the sandy hills between Forlì and Faenza.
I Sabbioni is a winemaking project connected to Gruppo Dino Zoli, created to highlight the hills surrounding Oriolo/Forlì. The company's narrative emphasizes family roots and the desire to translate the territory's distinctive character into recognizable wines, with a range detailed in its official catalogue.
Production philosophy
The winery aims to highlight the identity of the place through grape selection and winemaking that prioritize freshness, sapidity and drinkability; conviviality, family ties and respect for the land are recurring themes. According to the winery's catalogue, some wines are in conversion to organic or have been certified organic since 2021.
