Nestled in the heart of Europe and surrounded by Italy, the wine region of San Marino is an undiscovered gem that deserves to be explored by wine enthusiasts. This small country, despite its limited size, offers a unique terroir thanks to its microclimate and soil, which is primarily composed of limestone and clay, ideal for viticulture. The vineyards of San Marino are perched on sunny slopes, benefiting from the Adriatic influence that moderates climate variations and encourages a slow and balanced ripening of the grapes.
The grape varieties cultivated in the region notably include Sangiovese, which yields robust and structured red wines, and Biancale, an indigenous white grape that produces fresh and aromatic wines. The production mainly focuses on dry red and white wines, although there are also some variations of sparkling and sweet wines.
Beyond their taste quality, San Marino wines tell the story and culture of this tiny landlocked territory, offering oenophiles a unique and enriching experience. Discovering these wines is a sensory journey at the heart of one of the world's oldest republics.
