Farm and Winery Cinti & Cinti - A great passion since 1979...

From the first 2 hectares of vineyards planted in 1979 to the current modern winery with hospitality and food and wine activities, Floriano Cinti's passion for wine and the Bolognese hills remains intact.

In 2025, Floriano’s experience and growth as a winemaker and entrepreneur took on a new form with the entry of his son Lorenzo into the company and the establishment of “Cinti e Cinti.”

All the bureaucratic changes connected to the new company structure have been accompanied by an ongoing process of planning and long-term vision, while remaining firmly grounded in practical decision-making and in the enhancement of our territory.

We continue to believe in viticulture in the Colli Bolognesi area: a significant portion of the vineyards in Isola and Tignano has been uprooted, in preparation for renewal in 2026.

Among the new projects is the olive grove: a crop that represents a learning journey for us and will bear fruit in the years to come. We like to imagine producing our own olive oil for the agriturismo, and contributing to the development and potential of a local olive mill in our area.

Finally, we aim to further develop our vegetable garden and the cultivation of vegetables and other crops, with the goal of having fresh produce available daily in the kitchen and for our guests.

The company currently has about ten collaborators: about half in the cellar, supported by seasonal workers at the time of the gape harvest - still rigorously carried out by hand -, and half in the hospitality and food and wine activities of the restaurant L'Isola del Sasso.

Floriano Cinti

As a winemaker, Floriano Cinti began in 1978. Together with a group of friends, they bought the "Isola" farm in Sasso Marconi (Bologna) near the Reno river, to undertake a "commune" experience in the agricultural sector.

Among the various fields of activity of the agricultural cooperative, Cinti - also by family tradition - is dedicated to the vineyard: the first 2 hectares of vineyards planted in 1979, the first bottles, agronomic management. With passion, he continues to learn, from every pruning, harvest and vinification, through training courses, in-depth studies and tastings, with curiosity and attention to other winemaking realities.

In 1992, after years of industriousness and personal and common growth, the dissolution of the cooperative gave Floriano the opportunity to continue the wine history as an individual company with the takeover of the farm, the transformation of the structure used as a warehouse in the cellar and the 6 hectares of new vineyard in the Tignano area, in a particularly suitable place.

Since then the company has grown through the complete investment of the land of L'Isola as a vineyard, with the planting of another vineyard in Tignano, with the rental management of other vineyards in suitable areas of Sasso Marconi, with continuous updating technology of the cellar equipment.

The birth and growth of the company in years where the culture of vines and wine was not yet as strong and consolidated as today, lead to affirm that commitment and competence, passion and updating and desire to do better and better, have been the common thread that has given remarkable results, validated by acknowledgments and affirmations on the market, in a continuous search to offer an increasingly quality product.
