The territory

An ancient grape that found its ideal terrain in this part of Emilia Romagna, becoming an integral part of the characteristic landscape of the hilltops that lie around the city of Bologna. The Bologna hills, long a destination for day trips by the inhabitants of the Emilia Romagna regional capital, now attract tourists from all over the world. 

In the historic centre, the majesty of the squares and towers coexists with the discreet charm of the arcades that stretch right up to the Basilica of San Luca, the eighteenth-century church overlooking the city from a spur 300 metres above sea level.

Pignoletto is doubly linked to the flavourful local specialities: starters, first courses and fish dishes are its favourite companions, and thanks to its lively quality it is  also considered ideal as an aperitif.
