A CONNECTION WITHTHE HISTORY AND TERRITORY The brand logo is inspired by the ancient Roman coin found in the nearbyarchaeological site of Claterna.This ancient city thrived throughout the hay-day of the Roman empire’s splendour. During the first century BC, Claterna was an economic and productive centre for the surrounding area, densely populated and driving the region’s expansion.

The iconic coin has two famous facesrepresented: Ottaviano on the front, and Caesar on the reverse.

100% ITALIAN EXTRAVIRGIN OLIVE OIL

The founder of Palazzo di Varignana is deeply passionate about olive trees and the history of this territory; thanks to

this, more than 80 hectares of newmodern and solid olive groves have been recently established for the production of

high quality extra-virgin olive oil.

MONOCULTIVAR GHIACCIOLAbottle 250ml

A CONNECTION WITH THE HISTORY AND TERRITORY

Archeologic excavations of the historic Claterna site uncovered a beautiful mosaic of black and white geometric designs. These black and white bi-chromatic mosaics first appeared

during the Adrian era (the first half of the 2nd Century AD) and were used for both decorative and functional purposes. They were frequently found in less luxurious homes,

combining simplicity and economy in myriad design variations.

Monocultivar from Ghiacciola variety This oil is made from a single olive

varietal typical of Romagna. It possesses an herbaceous nose, with a

palate that begins sweet and finishes with a strongly spicy and persistent flavour.

The tasting experience ends withpleasantly balanced aromas.

SPUMANTE EXTRA DRY750ml

Claternae is an extra dry spumante (sparkling wine) of Pignoletto produced by an excellent local partner of Palazzo di Varignana. The D.O.P. Colli di Imola certification guarantees the local quality of Pignoletto, a typical wine from the hills near Bologna.Oenological properties: a fine and brilliant perlage provides a fine efferves-cence and persistent palate. The supple, fruity and fresh tastes provide a harmo-ny between sweetness and acidity that perfectly balance the slightly bitter taste typical of the pignolo.Serving suggestion: great for celebrat-ing for any occasion, excellent as an aperitif, it pairs very well with starters, fish-based menus and white meat. Ideal accompaniment to finger food too.Grape: Pignoletto 100%Alcohol content: 12.5%Service: ideal at 6°-8°


The Roman city of Claterna tookits name from the river Quaderna,that still runs today.


Made from white Istrian stone tiles, black tiles from Pisoia and stone walls of various colors, Claterna’s polychromatic mosaic is a uniquely refined expression of the ancient design typology. The mosaics are a striking testimony to the splendour achieved in the

city during the Augustan era. Five small multi-coloured birds (Cutrettola motacilla flava), are visible above and below the volutes.

Pignoletto vines have been present in the Bologna area for a very long time. In the I Century A.D. Pliny the Old mentions a wine called “Pinum Laetum”, although the first documents that specifically highlight it date back to the mid XVI century.This spumante is produced through a very particular vinification method that im-bues the wine with unique scents and aromas.
