A family estate rooted in Cesena
Zavalloni is a small family-run estate located in Cesena, Emilia-Romagna, between the Adriatic coast and the foothills of the Apennines. Passed down through generations, the estate remains committed to traditional farming and focuses on local grapes. Vineyard work is humble and hands-on, prioritizing the land over industrial intervention.
Championing native Romagna varieties
The estate proudly showcases the region’s heritage grapes, especially Sangiovese di Romagna, alongside Trebbiano, Albana, and Famoso. Each cuvée reflects a close connection to the land and offers a style that is fresh, honest, and accessible. Sangiovese here yields soft, spicy reds that are easy-drinking and food-friendly.
Minimalist winemaking with integrity
At Zavalloni, winemaking is artisanal and low-intervention. Fermentations are spontaneous, extractions are gentle, and aging typically takes place in stainless steel, concrete, or neutral oak. The aim is to preserve fruit purity and let the vintage speak—without chasing power or oak influence.
A rustic, vibrant and joyful style
The wines are expressive and approachable, yet never simplistic. They embody the spirit of Romagna—generous, warm, and real. Everyday wines crafted with care, they appeal both to fans of natural wine and to those who value authenticity and drinkability.
A hidden gem worth discovering
Still under the radar outside of Italy, Zavalloni is a rising name for terroir-driven Romagna wines. With limited production and a firmly artisanal approach, the estate is part of the region’s quality renaissance. A must for those seeking real, soulful wines with a strong sense of place.
