The story
The brand has been active since 1929, and the place name "Santodeno" is linked to the area's historic name. Over the years the winery has developed a range focused on Romagna's typical grape varieties and on several IGT wines, combining traditional methods with modern winemaking practices.
Production philosophy
Production focused on enhancing the hilly terroir of Romagna: careful tending of hillside vineyards, selection of native grape varieties and experimentation — including the drying of Sangiovese grapes — to express identity and typicity.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are described as being located on the hills of the Valle del Bidente and on the hills around Forlì; the area is characterized by good ventilation, pronounced diurnal temperature variations and medium-textured soils, conditions favorable to the ripening of the grapes.
