  • Oenologist: Monia Ravagli
  • Bottles produced: 500.000
  • Hectares: 104
A farmhouse in the hills, an estate, a vineyard. The history of San Patrignano winery began in the ‘70s when Vincenzo Muccioli decided to create a rehabilitation Community based on solidarity. Early on only simple wines were produced – Sangiovese and Trebbiano. The vines were well tended, grapes harvested manually and crushed by foot, there was 1 wine press and 5 wood barrels; that was it. Yet the desire to experiment was irresistible and quickly led to a sparkling wine made from Sangiovese grapes.

Over the years, the vines spread to cover over 100 hectares. The turning point came in the ‘90s: wine quality improved and it became fuller-bodied. Making it an excellent local product became a challenge for the residents. New vines – mainly Montepirolo, with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc – were grafted, the Sangiovese vines were re-grafted and density was increased to 6,600 vines per hectare.

In 2023 Mention of Excellence for:
- ORA Romagna DOC Sangiovese Superiore 2020: wine Ambassador of the Territory for the Rimini area
- AVI Romagna DOC Sangiovese Superiore Riserva 2020: wine Ambassador of the Territory for the Rimini area

San Patrignano celebrates the recognition received from the Italian Sommelier Association in the volume Emilia-Romagna da Bere e da Mangiare (Emilia-Romagna to Drink and Eat), the official guide that narrates and promotes the gastronomic excellence of Emilia Romagna, the Italian region with the highest number of PDO and PGI products.

Origin Twenty-five hectares on the hill of Montepirolo form a single vineyard, with a mainly eastern exposure, where the guyot and spur pruned cordon training systems are used. Montepirolo is made from a selection of the best grapes from these 25 hectares

Harvest Merlot is harvested in early September, Cabernet in late September/early October. The grapes are picked by hand, placed in small crates, taken immediately to the cellar and transferred to a conveyor belt for hand-sorting
Wine making Montepirolo is the result of a well-balanced assemblage of the wine from three grape varieties vinified separately. The skin maceration time will vary depending on vintage characteristics, thus intensifying the wine’s aromas. After racking-off, the wine is transferred to barrique where the assemblage takes place.
