#sadifruttirossi · From Romagna, looking east
The wines of Romagna, poured across Asia.
I connect wine importers across Asia with Italian wineries. Personal relationships, a sommelier’s perspective, and a shared respect for the wines’ origins.

Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Where much of Italy
began.
The region between Bologna and the Adriatic gave Italy its flag, its oldest university and many of the foods the world calls Italian. Romagna, its eastern half, is a land of hills, small family wineries and generous tables.

Good wine starts with the land. Good business, with people.
The sommelier behind the selection.
I’m Marco Gobbi, an AIS-certified sommelier and the founder of SADIFRUTTIROSSI.
My work brings together a professional knowledge of wine, the palate of an Official AIS Taster, and personal relationships with Italian wineries.
I have a particular connection to Romagna: a region of distinctive native grapes, family producers, and deeply rooted winemaking traditions. I select wines for their character and the people behind them, with attention to organic and biodynamic approaches.
Today, my focus is on building connections with importers across Asia, introducing producers whose wines can bring something distinctive to their portfolios.
