The land
Close enough to the sea, close enough to the mountains
The hills of Cesena sit at a very particular point: near enough to the Adriatic for the sea to come in at night, close enough to the Casentino Apennines for the days and nights to pull apart. That double influence gives our wines two things that rarely sit together — warmth and freshness.
The soil does the rest. It is clay, and in places it is full of marine fossils: what is left of the seabed this hill used to be. The salinity that stretches the finish comes from there.
Twenty hectares between the sea and the Apennines
A cellar built on the hills of Cesena in the 1970s, and a decision taken in 2021: stop selling in bulk, and start bottling what these soils can actually give.

The person behind it
Gianni Mancini grew up in the Marche, the grandson of farmers, and spent his working life in IT. In 2021 he bought a cellar that sold its wine in bulk, and decided to make something else of it.

CURRENT VINTAGE
Sangiovese Superiore DOC Riserva
“Intenzioni” is the wine that marks the beginning of our journey, the first important label of the winery and the authentic expression of Romagna.
- Vinification and aging:
- One year in stainless steel, to keep the freshness and integrity of the fruit
- One year in French oak barriques of varying age, for complexity and structure
- Two years in bottle in our underground cellar, where the temperature is held naturally by the earth
- Character: A Sangiovese that speaks of its territory with elegance and depth. The nose opens on ripe red fruit, delicate spice and well-integrated oak. The palate is harmonious, with silky tannins and a long, enveloping finish.
- Identity: Intenzioni is not only a wine but a statement of intent — tradition and craft on one side, the search for balance and authenticity on the other. It is our homage to Romagna, and to the conviction behind every decision in the cellar.
