Dulcinea di Poggio della Dogana is a white wine from overripe grapes obtained from the late harvest of Albana produced in Brisighella at Pideura, from 15-year-old vineyards with 1.500 vines per hectare, trained on guyot training system and located at 210 m above sea level. The yield per hectare is 700 kg, or 0.7 kg per plant. Vinification takes place by pressing the grapes without skins and fermentation in separate barriques of the individual harvests. Maturation is for 8 months in barriques on fine lees and a minimum of 12 months in the bottle. The production amounts to 1000 bottles but 500ml.

The image dedicated to the Dulcinea label refers to an allegory by Silvio Gordini depicting an upside-down bouquet of ripe fruit, yellow fruit and red grapes with sensations of sweetness, and the warm colours of nature, refer to the sensations of overripe wine.

Dulcinea, was a racing horse, so dear to her grandfather Gino. From birth she immediately excelled in docility and loyalty, was very intelligent and was trained with great ease. She was awarded several prizes, gracefulness meekness and speed were her characteristics.

Poggio della Dogana is located in Terra del Sole, an elevation that in the 16th century served as a boundary point between the Papal Romagna and the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Today, the farm spans 20 hectares across the hills of Castrocaro Terme – Terra del Sole and Brisighella, in the heart of Romagna.

The characteristics of the land are crucial for the unique style of our wines: the brown and ochre clays of Castrocaro, rich in bromine, sulfur, and calcium, and the sea breeze blowing from the Adriatic just a few dozen kilometers away to the limestone soils of Brisighella, which impart the unmistakable extension of sapidity.

In the wines and people of Poggio della Dogana, you can sense notes of passion for friendship and love for a land as strong and romantic as Romagna.
