Tenuta La Viola

Winery in Romagna

About the Winery

Tenuta La Viola, owned by the Gabellini family, is a historic winery located in Bertinoro, Emilia-Romagna, established in 1962. Spanning 12 hectares of vineyards, originally planted with Sangiovese and Albana, the winery is deeply rooted in tradition. Since 1999, it has been certified organic and has recently embraced biodynamic practices.

The family moved from Romagna's hinterland in 1962 and purchased land with Sangiovese and Albana vineyards, originally cultivated using the alberello system. Deeply rooted in the local peasant tradition, wine was always seen as more than just a food — it symbolized community and shared pride in the land. The winery has been certified organic since 1999, and since 2018, has incorporated biodynamic practices. The grapes are harvested by hand, and the family’s dedication to sustainable farming ensures that each bottle reflects the unique character and natural balance of the land.

About the Wines

Tenuta La Viola specializes in producing wines that capture the essence of Romagna's terroir, from robust Sangiovese to elegant Albana. Each wine is crafted with care, highlighting the unique characteristics of the region's indigenous grape varieties. The winery’s commitment to organic practices ensures that the wines are expressive and sustainably produced.

Among their offerings, "P.Honorii" stands out as their flagship wine, while "Il Colombarone" is the most representative, embodying the elegance and hospitality of the region. With an annual production of 70,000 bottles, Tenuta La Viola’s wines offer a true taste of Romagna.

Exciting
Wonderful experience. Very friendly and welcoming lady. The cellars are a sight to see; unfortunately, due to the bad weather, we weren't able to tour the vineyards. The wine is very good and also the pizza that the lady offered us. It's an experience that I feel I can recommend.

Ciao Giovanna, grazie mille per le belle parole!
È stato un vero piacere avervi con noi, mi dispiace solo per il brutto tempo che non ha permesso di visitare le vigne come previsto.
Spero davvero di rivedervi presto, magari con il sole, per poter completare l’esperienza!
Un caro saluto e grazie ancora per la vostra gentilezza.

Great experience!
I'm from the area but I had never been here, what a shame!
Friendly and very kind!
You felt like you were at home!
The charcuterie board was also excellent, the soul of Romagna!
Good wine and good food, passion and love for the land.

Excellent experience
A pleasant experience thanks also to the kind lady who gave us various explanations. Besides the excellent wine, I must say that the platter of cured meats and cheeses provided with the tasting was also very good. Money well spent.

An alternative afternoon
I learned many things, the energy transmitted, full of truth, made the experience unique.
Go visit this winery.
They make a Sangiovese that has nothing to envy of others.
Tastings and a charcuterie board with a view of the hills.
It was one of a kind.
Thank you, Livia.
