San Marino

Nestled in the northeast of the Italian peninsula, the microstate of San Marino emerges as a gem between Emilia-Romagna and Marche. Despite its diminutive size of just over 61 square kilometers and a population of 33,500, San Marino boasts a vibrant wine culture. Renowned for its scenic beauty and historical significance, this tiny enclave holds a cherished place in the world of wine.

Sangiovese reigns supreme in San Marino, echoing the influence of nearby Tuscany. Crafted into food-friendly reds, these wines perfectly complement the local cuisine abundant with cheese, ham, and savory meats. Ribolla and Biancale dominate the dry white wine scene, ideal for pairing with Adriatic seafood delicacies. Meanwhile, sweet and sparkling Muscat wines add a delightful touch to San Marino's culinary offerings.

Grapevines have graced San Marino's slopes for nearly two millennia, with records of winemaking dating back to the 13th century. Archaeological discoveries even hint at viticulture activities as far back as the 1st century A.D.
