SUOLO E SALUTE
Wine-growing region:
EMILIA ROMAGNA
Villa Venti is the inspiring story of an Italian wine-growing family that believes in a future built with their own hands. In Romagna’s gently rolling hills, just beyond the Rubicon river, between Roncofreddo, and Longiano.
It is our desire to express the land for which we have the deepest respect, because it provides nourishment for the crops and character for the grapes that we respect in the wine cellar. Precisely in order to preserve, uncompromised, the expression of this particular growing locus, we grow only grape varieties native to our area: Sangiovese, Famoso, Centesimino, Trebbiano and Albana.
Wine, earth, hands.
We believe in the future, in the energy of our earth, in the power of dreams, in life in step with nature: aware, sustainable, essential.

2020 PRIMO SEGNO
ROMAGNA SANGIOVESE SUPERIORE DOC
sangiovese
Red wine
Villa Venti’s standard-bearer; like our family’s smile: solid, self-confident, and luminous. Primo Segno was our initial wine, the beginning of our dream, the first step in an adventure, and testimony to the fact that the first evidence the Romans left of their presence here was the grapevine. We carefully “read” our terroir, and planted five different clones of loose-clustered sangiovese, depending on the types of clay soil. Our goal is to craft a crisp, mineral-edged Sangiovese, cleanly-delineated and straightforward, with fragrant impressions of just-picked cherry, and fine-grained, supple tannins, whose finish exudes once again those dusty notes of talc and pencil lead that are classic to wines of this growing area.
Grape: 100% Sangiovese (five clones)
Production: kg 0.8-1 each plant
Yield per Ha: 5.300 plants

2023 SERENARO
igt rubicone bianco
famoso di cesena
White wine
A scintillating gold, its nose a cornucopia of blossoms flanked by magisterial notes of apricot and peach. On the palate is a wealth of citrus fruit and zest, which superbly complement the tangy, mineral-salt impressions classic to these soils. A crisp, fresh wine with great character. Our first white wine, it accents are as light as a bare-footed dash through the meadows beneath a serene and luminous heavens. The name Serenaro was suggested by the dialect term "sarner", the wind that brings clear skies, which Dante refers to in the Paradiso of his Divina Commedia (Paradiso, Canto XXVIII, vv. 79-81)

2023 SCIRONE
igt rubicone bianco
famoso di cesena
White wine
From a spontaneous fermentation in Georgian amphora and a long maceration, come to life Scirone, our reinterpretation of Famoso grapes. The nose is a combination of fruits, flowers, spice and soil; on the palate is a symphony of freshness, salt and dried fruit. A wine telling us about sunset colours and the scent of the marine breeze during a summer night by the sea.

2020 Longiano Particella 10
Romagna Sangiovese Longiano doc
sangiovese
Red wine
Only in the finest of growing years, and from a meticulous quality-selection of sangiovese, do we make our Riserva, from an east-southeast facing vineyard that imprints itself on a wine that bears our innermost identity. Once again, the earth makes itself felt, and its impressions emerge, forceful but elegant, in a sensuous yet muscular structure, in which fruit, leather, and animal hide evolve, crisp and well-balanced, in a dance that is at once energy-laden and utterly intriguing.
Grape: 100% Sangiovese
Production: 0.8-1 for each plant
Yield per Ha: 5300 plants
Training system: Alberello
Harvest: 4° week of September, made by hand
Soil: Red clays and Messinian age sands
Winemaking: spontaneous fermentation, one year of ageing in concrete
2023 "A"
igt rubicone rosso
centesimino
Red wine
Fruit on the nose, earth in the mouth. “A,” a red wine made from centesimino grapes fermented in a Georgia-style amphora (Kvevri), represents a historical and cultural project, and more specifically an exchange of practices and expertise between some Georgian producers and their Emilia-Romagna colleagues. Precisely because it is set solidly within the “furrow” of the practices and experience time long past, we selected for its name A, the first letter of the alphabet, which—just like winegrowing-- we pass on, from the depths of time, from generation to generation in the countries of the Mediterranean basin.

2023 Tre Albe
igt rubicone bianco
trebbiano, albana
White wine
On the nose an explosion of spring, cut grass, flowers and fleshy fruits. In the mouth savoriness and freshness envelop the palate playing the leading roles, in the finish fruits such as apricot and loquat return.
