"Romagna" is a Protected Designation of Origin that identifies wines produced with indication of grape variety or additional geographical mention: Albana, Cagnina, Pagadebit, Pagadebit Bertinoro, Sangiovese and Trebbiano. Novello, Superiore, Riserva, sparkling and Spumante wines are also provided. The exhaustive list of all productions is available in the product specification.

Grapes

The vines used for the production vary according to the type. In the case of Trebbiano, at least 85% of the homonymous vine is required. The same applies to Sangiovese, with the percentage rising to 95% when a geographical mention is also included on the label. The 95% is also the required share of Albana grape for the vinification of the Spumante of the same name. For Cagnina, on the other hand, a minimum 85% of Terrano is used, while for Pagadebit and Pagadebit Bertinoro an 85% of white Bombino is used. Finally, in all types, within the limits of the missing quotas, it is also possible to use other similar berry varieties, suitable for cultivation in Emilia Romagna.
