Wines from the hills of Rimini
Wine is a liquid nutriment that popular custom considers useful for making manual work more fruitful and intellectual work more creative.
Obviously, the value lies in the quality.
Wine at the table brings pleasure, serenity and joy. In wine, in the knowledge of it, in its history, in its ability to be tasted, appreciated, offered, bought, there is also a cultural content. It is the culture of our land.

The consortium called "Strada dei Vini e dei Sapori dei Colli di Rimini" (Road of Wines and Flavors of the Hills of Rimini) brings together oil mills, wineries, wine cellars, holiday farms, restaurants, craft shops, public institutions and trade associations located along the beaches of the Adriatic and among the historic hamlets of the Conca valleys and Marecchia.
Each company offers different suggestions and all together they tell the story of a territory with the innate hospitality of its people.

Rebola
Rebola is a traditional term that identifies a native wine from the province of Rimini. It is obtained from Grechetto Gentile grapes historically present in the Rimini area.
The first notarial inscription that proves its presence dates back to 1378 (statutes of Savignano of Rimni).
It is a well-structured wine, saline with some hints of almond which noticeably reflects the influence of the sea. Its sapidity makes it particularly suitable for local fish cuisine.
It is a pleasant, clear and eclectic white wine; it is representative of a territory with a great tourist vocation. A real liquid souvenir to taste while on holiday and to take home.
The best way to taste rebola and other Rimini wines is "P.assaggi di Vino", the annual event held in July in the setting of the Tiberius Bridge and of the San Giuliano Hamlet.
