Estate

San Valentino winery was born on a pre-existing post-war wine settlement, about which, however, little is known. In the 1990s Giovanni Mascarin bought the entire farm from the Nanni family.

Only in 1997 Roberto Mascarin, Giovanni's son, together with his wife Valeria, decided to take care of the estate, driven by the passion for the fruits of the earth and above all by the belief that Colle di Covignano had climate and soil conditions capable of expressing great wines, thus giving an important turning point to reach prestigious goals in a short time.

In these years Scabi, Terra di Covignano and Luna Nuova were born, the labels that will make the history of the winery.

The development of the winery continued rapidly until 2017, when Roberto Mascarin lost his Valeria for a terrible illness, to which he dedicated "Vivi", the most iconic wine of the company.

In that difficult time Roberto decided not to remain alone at the head of the company, but to have other business partners at his side. Since the end of 2022 a new managing director, the entrepreneur Gianluca Marchetti, has been joining Roberto at the head of the company.

The new team wants to make a further leap forward and reorganize the location in order to welcome with greater elegance the many visitors attracted by the events and above all by the quality of the wines.The company has been a landmark of the territory for years and it boasts international scores among the highest in Romagna.

Terroir

The vineyards extend over 17 hectares of land owned by the winery, all spread over the hills and facing south and south-west; 70% of these vines are cultivated with the red grapes Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and with the native white grape Rebola.

The vines are cover cropped in alternating Rows and grown according to organic farming guidelines. The plantation has 7,000 plants per hectare, trained using the Guyot system. The soils are poor, with a low percentage of clay and limestone. The yield is around 8,000 kg of grapes per hectare, all harvested by hand.

Any work on the plants is done for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to create the best possible conditions for healthy, top quality grapes. Because, as they say around here, “good wine is born in the vineyard and completed in the winery”.

San Valentino wines are all organic and offer a unique identity and set of characteristics that originate from both the variety and the area. The winery uses four main grape varieties to produce ten labels overall. It offers four cru labels, namely: ViVi, Terra di Covignano, Luna Nuova, and Mascarin. One sparkling wine and eight still wines, two are white, six are red, and one Rebola straw wine, the Contesse Muschietti, which is solera-aged in oak barrels for over 15 years.
