Rimini: San Valentino Tasting – 5 Signature DOC Wines with Local Delights
A guided journey through the heart of Romagna's finest wines, paired with the warmth of local hospitality.
This Rimini DOC wine tasting offers an intimate and expertly guided experience through five distinct labels, each reflecting the character of the Romagna terroir. Set at a family estate near Rimini, the session combines winemaking history with sensory discovery in a relaxed setting.
Guests are welcomed with a brief introduction to the estate's origins and philosophy before moving into the tasting itself. Five wines are presented in succession, ranging from a native white to a rich Sangiovese Riserva, allowing participants to trace the full spectrum of what this corner of Emilia-Romagna produces.
The tasting is accompanied by fresh bread, organic extra virgin olive oil, and a curated selection of local cured meats and cheeses. These pairings are chosen to complement the wines without overshadowing them, making the experience accessible to both newcomers and experienced wine enthusiasts.
The estate places particular emphasis on organic practices and respect for indigenous varieties, giving each wine a sense of place that mass-produced labels rarely achieve. The Rebola grape, nearly exclusive to the Rimini DOC appellation, is a highlight not commonly found outside this region.
Why This Experience Stands Out
Taste five wines spanning DOC and IGT appellations, including the rare Rebola grape native to the Rimini area.
Pairings include organic extra virgin olive oil, fresh bread, artisan cured meats, and local cheeses from Romagna.
Hosted at a family-run estate with a genuine welcome and a brief history of the property and its winemaking tradition.
The estate follows organic principles, reflected in both the viticulture and the quality of the accompanying food products.
Originally designed as a Valentine's Day celebration, the experience suits any couple or small group seeking a meaningful afternoon.
Located in the Covignano hills above Rimini, the estate offers a peaceful contrast to the busy Adriatic coast just minutes away.
What to Expect
Upon arrival, guests receive a warm welcome from the host and a concise overview of the estate's history, its location within the Rimini DOC zone, and the philosophy behind its winemaking approach.
The session opens with the Scabi Rebola, a white wine made from one of the most distinctive indigenous varieties of the Rimini appellation. The host provides context on the grape's character and its limited geographical range.
A newly released rosé joins the lineup, offering a fresh and vibrant profile typical of the Rimini DOC designation. This wine represents the estate's continued commitment to exploring the appellation's potential.
Guests move into the red wines, beginning with the approachable Vivi Red Rubicone IGT before progressing to the Terra di Covignano Sangiovese Riserva, a structured wine aged to reflect the Romagna DOC tradition at its most serious.
The tasting concludes with the Mascarin Syrah, an international variety grown in the Rubicone IGT zone. Its inclusion demonstrates how the estate balances local identity with broader viticultural curiosity.
Throughout the tasting, guests enjoy fresh bread, organic extra virgin olive oil, and a selection of local cured meats and cheeses. The session closes with time for questions and informal conversation with the host.
