The story
Nestled in the medieval village of Dozza, the Enoteca Regionale Emilia Romagna is far more than a typical wine shop. Born from a local student’s thesis, this 4.6-star gem now serves as the region’s official promotion center. Chef Max Mariola, passing through with his son, noted how the enoteca “showcases all the wines of the region, from sparkling whites to still reds.” It’s a curated window into Emilia-Romagna’s diverse wine heritage, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Rocca fortress.
The selection is thoughtful and complete, but one wine stood out for Mariola: Sangiovese. This is no tourist trap—it’s a deeply local institution that rewards curiosity. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just beginning to explore Italian wines, the enoteca offers a genuine, unfiltered taste of the land. Stop in for a bottle, a lesson in terroir, and a glimpse of how a student’s vision became a regional treasure.
