Tenuta Santa Lucia

We find ourselves in Mercato Saraceno (Forlì-Cesena), in the Upper Valle del Savio, on the first hills of the Cesena area, in the heart of the most rural Romagna.

Tenuta Santa Lucia was founded in the 1960s by Paride Benedetti and his wife Assunta, and today cultivates about 18 hectares of vineyards.

Tenuta Santa Lucia

In the late 1990s, the estate underwent a transformation, increasingly focusing on quality, biodynamics (certified by Demeter), and the relationship with the territory, with indigenous grape varieties typical of the area such as Sangiovese and Albana, but also much lesser-known varieties like Famoso, Rebola, Pagadebit, and Centesimino.

Emilia Romagna

The history of vine and wine in Emilia-Romagna dates back to the pre-Roman era and is linked to its most famous grape, Lambrusco. The spread of wine produced with the same grape, renowned worldwide, has also generated the belief that only ordinary wines are produced here, a misconception debunked by many examples of high quality found in the area.
At the end of the 1800s, the arrival of phylloxera marked a halt in Emilian viticulture, except in the Po Delta area, which was spared from the parasite invasion and still has many ungrafted vines.

The region is divided into two distinct geographical and cultural areas: Emilia, in the western part, and Romagna, in the eastern part. Even the predominantly cultivated grape varieties are different: in the east, barbera, croatina, malvasia di Candia, and ortrugo prevail, while in the center there are various varieties of Lambrusco, up to pignoletto in the Bolognese area, and sangiovese, trebbiano romagnolo, pagadebit, and albana in the hilly area towards the sea.

The pedoclimatic characteristics of the territory vary depending on altitude and proximity to the sea, giving rise to different wine zones, with a gradually milder climate as one approaches the Romagnola Riviera.

Forlí-Cesena

We are in Romagna, a prime area for Sangiovese, Albana, Trebbiano Romagnolo, Pagadebit (Bombino Bianco), and Terrano. There are two main zones: one is pre-hilly, extending from the slopes of the last hilly formations of the Apennines to the Via Emilia, and the other is predominantly hilly.

In the province of Forlì-Cesena, these areas are particularly notable:
- Serra, which enjoys a continental climate little mitigated by the significant distance from the sea (wines express delicate floral notes and fresh fruity aromas).
- Modigliana, where the terrain becomes even more rugged, allowing for the production of wines with a bold structure, powerful, austere, and long-lived.
- Castrocaro-Terra del Sole, lands of "Romagna Toscana".
- Predappio, where Sangiovese (fruity with rather austere tannins) reigns supreme.
- Bertinoro, where Albana is queen.
- Cesena, with fruity, structured, and elegant Sangiovese.
- San Vicinio, the area most suited for Sangiovese, with very balanced wines.
- Longiano, with important and rich wines, with evident fruity notes and good structure.
Each area tells a unique story of terroir and winemaking traditions.
