Located in the Forlì hills in the Bidente Valley, between the Apennines and the Tuscan border, an area with excellent soil and climate characteristics for the production of high quality wines. The history of Poderi dal Nespoli is rooted in four generations of winemakers from Romagna, who have deeply believed in their territory and its fruits, enhancing their production through constant research and improvement. In 2010, the partnership between the Ravaioli family and the Mondodelvino group began. Poderi dal Nespoli wines are present on many international markets, thanks also to the innovative thrust of cutting-edge technology, introduced at all stages of grape processing and wine ageing, which has enabled an improvement in the quality profile while fully respecting the most authentic processes. The first generation started out by creating the Osteria "Da Tilio", which soon became one of the most popular destinations for Romagnoli in the area, serving what is known as "house wine". With the second generation comes the Podere Prugneto and the first production of Sangiovese from their own grapes and later the first two white wines based on Albana and Trebbiano. In the mid-1960s there was a decisive turning point, believing strongly that Sangiovese di Romagna was a grape variety from which to obtain high profile wines, and for this reason he decided to introduce two important innovations: reducing the production of grapes per hectare and using French barriques for ageing for the first time. Today, Poderi dal Nespoli wines are high quality wines, in whose spirit the dream of Alfeo Martini and that of the Ravaioli family meet: to bring great Romagna quality to international markets.
