Ravenna

In the coastal lowlands of this Emilia-Romagna provincial capital, where Adriatic shores historically shaped the damp, sandy soils, unique viticultural conditions thrive. This terroir defines the Bosco Eliceo DOC, a highly localized wine designation shared among just 8 municipalities, where grapes grow directly in the salty maritime sands. Ravenna plays home to 19 protected denominations, including its namesake Ravenna IGT, a wine zone spanning 18 municipalities. These coastal terrains also yield distinctive tree fruits and cheeses, proving that the ancient provincial capital's agricultural identity is deeply anchored in its distinct geography.
