The Buyer | Emilia-Romagna’s new voices: old vines, altitude and forgotten grapes

The new generation of Romagna producers are working with altitude, old vines and forgotten grapes. Their wines show diversity, but also a region still searching for its voice. In part two of Lilla's in-depth study of the region she argues that the land is ready and the grapes are waiting. What Romagna needs now is not another revolution in the vineyard, but a clearer voice in the world: to communicate its subzones with confidence, to show Albana in all its modern guises, and to prove that its Sangiovese is more than ‘Tuscany’s neighbour’.
