GiovinBacco Wine Festival

GiovinBacco: A Celebration of Romagna’s Wine

Every year, Ravenna becomes the stage for GiovinBacco - Sangiovese in Festa, an event that pays tribute to wine, with a particular focus on the native grape varieties of Romagna, a region long dedicated to viticulture but perhaps less known compared to other major wine regions in Italy.

The undisputed star of the event is Sangiovese di Romagna, a wine that embodies the strong and genuine character of its land of origin. Unlike the more famous Tuscan Sangiovese, the Romagna variety boasts notes and nuances that reflect its deep connection with rural communities, the rolling hills, and the unique microclimate of Romagna. It’s a wine that speaks of tradition, passion, and craftsmanship handed down from generation to generation in small local wineries.

GiovinBacco is not just an event dedicated to wine tasting, but a true celebration that showcases the wine excellence of the territory. Historic wineries and young producers come together to introduce the public to wines that, though less well-known than those from other regions, embody a strong and authentic identity. Alongside Sangiovese, you’ll discover other enological gems like Albana, the first Italian white wine to receive DOCG status, and many other native wines that deserve to be rediscovered.

This event, which enlivens the squares of Ravenna, is an opportunity to not only approach wine but also the stories of the people who produce it, their efforts, traditions, and the lands that give life to a cultural heritage of inestimable value.

A toast to Romagna, its wines, and its communities that, year after year, continue to make this event an unmissable occasion.
