The label bears an allegory of nature, taken from the sketches of Silvio Gordini, depicting a winged putto riding a grotesque two-headed chimera, intent on seizing the rich basket of fruit placed right on the mythological being's head.
The image is striking for the details of the brushstroke, showing a vivacity of colour and unparalleled elegance.

The name Farfarello comes from one of the trotting horses in Paolo and Aldo's grandfather's stable, a horse so named because it is an animal with a strong character, just like the Albana wine that takes its name.

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.
