VINI BISSONI

T e r r i o r

Between 150 and 300 meters above sea level, vineyards located on the hills of Bertinoro, Romagna, bask in the beneficial climate of the Adriatic Sea, 15 kilometres away. Salubrious sea breezes travel up and among the hills, creating excellent climate conditions for a unique terroir: ideal ventilation and high diurnal temperature variation that bestows aromatic richness upon wines.
The roots of Raffaella Bissoni’s vineyards sink gleefully into “Spungone” a porous tuffaceous rock of marine origin made from limestone with fossil shells deposits. Fossil shells indicate that thousands of years ago this land was covered by oceans. The Spungone layers are rich in minerals and nutrients suitable for grape growing bestowing a special complexity and balsamic hints upon wines, for an unmistakable Bertinoro terroir, sip after sip.

The ancient town of Bertinoro town is located a short distance away from the Bissoni estate. Bertinoro is renowned for its historic heritage (don’t miss the main square Piazza della Libertà and its Column of the Rings) and for its extensive offer of typical local products (piadina flat bread, cheeses, Mora Romagnola charcuterie, wines).
The nearby town of Fratta Terme is home to a thermal centre with 7 different spring waters and you have the chance to try the “vinotherapy”. Bertinoro is also a wonderful destination for sports, just follow one of many bike or walking routes. The Municipality organises important cultural, music and sport events all over the year.
