Linaro

100% Cabernet Sauvignon

In the heart of the Santerno Valley, our vineyards stretch along the banks of the Canale dei Molini, an ancient waterway that has crossed the countryside of Imola since the Middle Ages. This area, nestled between the river and the first foothills of the Apennines, enjoys a rare balance of nature, history, and favorable pedoclimatic conditions. The soils, shaped over time by alluvial stratifications, are medium-textured, with a sandy component that ensures excellent drainage and a silty-clay fraction that retains the necessary moisture during drier seasons. This combination gives the wines freshness, balance, and refined minerality. The climate is temperate and well-ventilated, with sunny days and marked diurnal temperature variations that guide the grapes toward intense aromatic profiles and notable complexity. The presence of the canal, subtle yet constant, helps maintain a stable microclimate, protecting the vineyards from extreme stress. Cultivating vines in this hidden and generous corner of Emilia-Romagna means working in harmony with a living land—one that yields wines of authentic character, capable of expressing their origin with elegance.
