It is the strongest white grape variety in Romagna . We are talking about Trebbiano whose hectares (over 15 thousand of the 28,000 total) establish its area leadership in Romagna . A grape variety, Trebbiano, which becomes the protagonist of a new story together with those who "live" it in the vineyard every day. It is the project implemented by Terre Cevico , a cooperative group with deep roots in the area together with its 5 thousand members, which has given life to " 10 stories of Trebbiano in Romagna ", a story of the production chain of Trebbiano-based bubbles.
In fact, there are ten winemaking members who have put their face to it and who have decided to tell directly from the vineyard everything that is around the Romagna bubbles and that we find more and more often in glasses all over the world. Ten stories available online on the website terrecevico.com/10-storie / united by the common thread of Terre Cevico cooperation made of tradition, sustainability, identity, innovation, resistance, love for viticulture.
A story of the supply chain , therefore, which starts from the hinterland and arrives at the sea, directly on the Riviera , in a journey that involves the operators of the Emilia Romagna coast. It is the renewed liaison between Terre Cevico and the seaside operators of the SIB (Italian Seaside Union), who have decided to be an active part in the project to enhance the Romagna identity which here connects land and sea, wine and beach. Last year, the SIB seaside businesses from across the peninsula also came to the aid of the wine cooperatives affected by the flood by purchasing wines from the Terre Cevico "Everything is possible" line, giving concrete help to the drama experienced by numerous member companies. This year the bond is renewed in a journey that starts from the valorization of the iconic Romagna vine and finds itself around a glass of Romagna bubbles, emblem of the lightness, resilience and good living that characterizes this land.
A bond that was presented last Friday (24 May) in the splendid Terrazza del Bagno Milano in Cesenatico in the presence of the ten producing members of Trebbiano di Terre Cevico together with the Sea operators of the SIB representing the entire Emilia Romagna coast (Comacchio, Ravenna , Cervia, Cesenatico and Rimini).
