The story
Tenuta Villa Rovere is the commercial name connected to Azienda Agricola San Martino and the homonymous estate located in Rovere di Forlì. The label promotes local production rooted in the family's and territory's Romagna traditions; the estate and villa preserve local historical references and the winemaking project originates from the management of the local agricultural company (information taken from institutional pages and local records of the estate).
Production philosophy
Artisanal production and respect for local tradition: use of estate-grown raw materials (hazelnuts/walnuts) and traditional processing methods to enhance Romagna specialties.
Territory
Rovere di Forlì (province of Forlì-Cesena), Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Product included in the gastronomic and agricultural tradition of Romagna.
Production method
For the Nocino Terre di Romagna the estate uses immature walnuts (Chandler variety) harvested according to tradition (including on St. John's night). The walnuts are cut and infused in alcohol for about a year; at the end of maceration the solids are separated, sugar is added and spices such as cloves, cinnamon and coriander are blended in. After a subsequent decantation the product is filtered, bottled and aged in bottle for at least 12 months before commercialization.
Ageing
Slow decantation for about a year after maceration and bottle aging for at least 12 months before commercial release.
