The story
Mutiliana began as a project by Giorgio Melandri — a wine critic and journalist — aimed at enhancing the Modigliana terroir. Melandri has selected and established vineyards in the three local valleys (Ibola, Tramazzo, Acereta) to produce distinct wines for each valley.
Production philosophy
Territorial and minimalist approach: separate vinifications by vineyard/valley, spontaneous fermentations, long macerations and predominant use of concrete tanks for ageing; emphasis on altitude and terroir expression.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards in the municipality of Modigliana (Apennines of Romagna, province of Forlì‑Cesena) distributed across the three valleys Acereta, Tramazzo and Ibola. For some mountain wines (e.g. the Pinot Noir “Ecce Draco”) parcels are located above 600 m a.s.l.
