Experience the lively charm of Cevico, Colli Imola, Emilia Romagna 'Romandiola' Pignoletto Frizzante, an artisanal sparkling wine crafted in the rolling hills of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Renowned for its blend of tradition and modern winemaking techniques, Cevico draws on the diverse terroirs of the Colli Imola subregion, where fertile clay and loam soils create the perfect environment for the Pignoletto grape-also known as Grechetto Gentile.

Produced using the Charmat method to enhance its fresh, aromatic qualities, this wine embodies the expertise of one of Italy's largest and most distinguished wine producers. With careful pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation, and a brief period on the lees, the result is a delicately creamy texture and crisp, refreshing character, making it an ideal choice for stylish aperitifs or lively gatherings.
