VILLA TRENTOLA Estate stands on the Cesubeo Hill, that of the current Bertinoro, in a wonderful landscape, among green hills, fields cultivated with cereals, olive groves and vineyards. Its domination, that of Castrum Brittinori, is linked to various popular legends, among which the most reliable seems to be the one according to which Galla Placidia, wanting to enhance the goodness of the wine of these lands, that was offered to her in a crude pitcher, exclaimed: "Not of such a rough glass you are worthy, oh wine, but to be drunk in gold". The estate has been belonging to the Prugnoli family since 1890, when the grandfather Enrico bought it by the Counts Gaddi. Since then, generation after generation, the love for this land and for the art of "making" wine has been handed down. Since 2002, the first year of production, the company has changed image with the advent of the current owner, Federica Prugnoli, who after graduating in Agricultural Science and working in France in a wine research laboratory, has dedicated herself full–time to the company, with the intent of reaching increasingly high levels. "QUALITY IS THE STARTING POINT TO GET AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT!". This is her philosophy. The property covers 40 hectares of land, including 20 of vineyards, of which the biggest part is dedicated to Sangiovese di Romagna, which is the heart of the wines of the estate; another part of vineyards is dedicated to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The exposure of the vineyards, the nature of the terrain and the location inside a hillside amphitheater, include the conditions for optimal brightness and warmth to get a good maturation of the grapes and therefore great wines. To further improve the quality of the wines, Prugnoli is advised by a well–known winemaker, explaining the use in the winery of modern technologies of winemaking and wine fining.
