STRUCTURE
The wine shop, started by Castrocaro Proloco Tourist
Association and the Wine and Food Trail of the hills around
Forlì-Cesena, is located in the newly restored medieval
Fortress which has been specially selected with six other castles
of the Emilia-Romagna region for the International Project of the
Mediterranean countries 'Castrum' thanks to the typicality and
adequate use of the building. The architectural body consists of
three separate defence structures: the encircling walls (Girone),
the Fortress and the embrasures (Arsenali Medicei).
Inside the fortress is the Lord's building, the Corridor of the
Arms, the big and small courtyard, the small church of Santa
Barbara, the Prison Tower and the troglodyte caves. The Lord's
Buildings hosts the Permanent Historical Exhibition illustrating
the millenary history of the Fortress under the title "The Eagle,
the Keys and the Lily". The exhibition features weapons, majolica
wares, coins, parchments and old furniture, acquired through
archaeological retrievals, purchases, loans and donations. The wine
show is within this frame a special place of meeting and showcase
to promote and give value to the best products of Romagna soil
(wines, olive oil, cheeses, mushrooms, truffles, traditional
cakes). On display are all the typical Romagna wines of the
producers of the Wine Trail and there is the opportunity of tasting
wines such as Sangiovese, Albana, Trebbiano, Pagadebit, Cagnina.
The Proloco tourist association runs the fortress, supports
cultural and touristic goals and guarantees its opening to visitors
all the year long with guided tours in Italian and English. The
Fortress is the only centre of falconry in Italy with a scheduled
calendar of shows and it is also a cultural centre. The proloco
tourist association organizes, in conjunction with tourist boards
and associations, historical and food and wine events, congresses,
seminars, tastino sessions and work-shops.
