The village of Dozza<\/a>, which stands on the hills of Bologna that look toward Romagna, is famous for at least two things: one is its painted walls<\/a>, colored over the years by the Biennale del Muro Dipinto<\/a>; the other is the Enoteca Regionale dell’Emilia-Romagna<\/a>, hosted in the cellars of its Rocca Sforzesca.<\/p>\n

The Regional Enoteca, to whom the Region has attributed since 1978 the aim of promoting and enhancing the local wine heritage, today boasts over 200 members<\/strong> among wine, balsamic vinegar & spirits producers, public bodies, protection consortia and regional associations of sommeliers.<\/p>\n

Located in the evocative underground<\/strong> of the Sforza’s Fortress, the Enoteca displays (with the possibility of purchasing) more than 1000 labels<\/strong> selected by a special tasting commission.<\/p>\n

If you want to have a virtual taste<\/strong> of what you can find inside before heading to Dozza, just take a look at the section “Emilia Romagna’s Wines”<\/a> of the official site, where you can discover – in alphabetical order from Albana to Trebbiano – the 15 typical regional wines<\/strong>: their history, characteristics, legends and curiosities related to these products, along with the ways to fully enjoy them, combining the right food and the perfect occasion.<\/p>\n

Another way to discover more about this is to consult the interactive map dedicated to DOP wines<\/a> and the advanced search<\/a> that allows you to select wines according to your tastes, searching for them by category, color (white, red, ros\u00e9) and type (still, semi-sparkling, sparkling, novello, passito).<\/p>\n

\"Enoteca<\/p>\n

The Enoteca is open every day except Monday<\/strong>: Tuesday to Friday 10:00\u201312:30 and 14:30\u201319:00 \/ Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 9:30\u201313:00 and 14:30\u201319:00.
\nThe Wine Bar<\/strong> inside is open on Sundays<\/strong> from 2pm to 6.30pm.<\/p>\n

Every year in the Wine Bar there’s a rich calendar of courses, tastings and meetings with producers to learn more about wine and to deepen the different wine products of Emilia Romagna; to keep up-to-date on appointments, you can consult the News section<\/em> of the website.: www.enotecaemiliaromagna.it<\/a><\/p>\n
