Selection · 2026A short selection from the family estates Marco Gobbi represents: a red for every day, a great red, a white for every table, Albana (the white almost nobody outside Italy knows yet), a sparkling, and one wine with a story to tell.
The land behind the wines
Between Bologna and the Adriatic lies the region that 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, still largely undiscovered in Asia.

01 / 06The house red
Villa Venti · Longiano
The calling card of Villa Venti: Sangiovese from bush vines planted in 2003 on east-facing slopes above the Rubicon, where the sea breeze ripens the grapes slowly. Red cherry, violet and a savoury, almost salty finish; supple tannins that make it easy by the glass.
“Primo Segno is the estate’s first wine, the beginning of a dream, the completion of a journey.” Mauro Giardini, in Marco’s column

02 / 06The great red
Fattoria Zerbina · Marzeno
The wine that put Romagna on the map of Italian fine wine. Sangiovese Riserva from Zerbina’s densely planted bush vines in the Marzeno valley, bottled only in worthy vintages. Dark cherry, tobacco and iron; firm, long, built to age for fifteen years and more.
“To achieve quality, shortcuts don’t count.” Cristina Geminiani, in Marco’s column

03 / 06The white for every table
Tenuta Casali · Mercato Saraceno
Trebbiano Romagnolo from a forty-year-old vineyard on the pebbly banks of the Savio, organic. Straw yellow, sage and aromatic herbs, a clean vertical acidity that refreshes the palate: the white we always want on the table.
“A pleasant, direct wine with character, one to always have on the table.” Marco Gobbi, Sa di Frutti Rossi

04 / 06Albana, the discovery
Fondo San Giuseppe · Brisighella
Albana was Italy’s first white wine to be awarded the DOCG, yet it is almost unknown abroad. Fondo San Giuseppe grows it at 400 metres among the woods above Brisighella: ripe apricot, broom flowers and a grip of tannin rare in a white. A white with the body of a red, made for food.

05 / 06The sparkling
Tenuta Casali · Mercato Saraceno
A Blanc de Noirs of Sangiovese, made by the traditional method and aged 30 months on the lees, with no dosage. Fine bubbles, bread crust, red apple and citrus; bone-dry and precise. An Italian alternative to Champagne with a story of its own.

06 / 06The story wine
Fattoria Zerbina · Marzeno
Albana again, in its most precious form. The grapes stay on the vine into autumn until noble rot concentrates them, then are picked by hand, berry by berry, in several passes. Amber gold, candied apricot, saffron and honey, balanced by vivid acidity. Tre Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso.
