Information

‘Magnificat’ is a “Single Vineyard” 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the vineyard that Claudio Drei Donà strongly wanted and planted in 1984 as sperimental vineyard when in the region was still not admitted to be planted. It ages for long time in French oak barriques and is bottled unfiltered. It’s the wine symbol of Drei Donà’s futurist vision and is the turning point when Drei Donà shifted to making top quality wines. Still today it is a great international translator of the quality of our Predappio terroir. GRAPE VARIETIES: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.

DREI DONA' - TENUTA LA PALAZZATenuta La Palazza is  nestled  in the ancient Romagnan hills between the towns of Forlì and Predappio. The farmhouse was built around a watch tower that Caterina Sforza erected in 1481 to defend her lands in this strategic position on the gentle slopes of Massa di Vecchiazzano. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the property has belonged to the Drei Donà counts and has always been dedicated to producing Sangiovese grapes. In 1979 Count Claudio Drei Donà, after acquiring a law degree and working in the insurance industry, quit his previous job and dedicated himself solely to the property. Altogether with his son Enrico he gave  Tenuta La Palazza  a radical transformation. All the 23 hectars are run under organic certificate agriculture and biodynamic approach. Most of them are planted with Sangiovese grapes : hence are born  the classic Predappio Doc “Notturno” and the Riserva “Vigna del Pruno”, altogether with the white cuvèe “Il Tornese”- the first Chardonnay & Rielsing blend in Romagna- and “Magnificat” - the first Romagna’s single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 100%. The wines that we produce are the result of  a hard work in the vineyards combined with a delicate approach in the cellar so to translate at its best the full soul of our terroir through the essence of our thought. Just a note to explain the names of our wines: they come from the names of the horses that we also breed in our farm. We are a member of FIVI - Italian Federation of Indipendent Vintners - from his foundation, and the only Emilia Romagna member of the Italian Grand Cru Committee.
