Tessano

Sammarinese wine is wine from San Marino, which is home to a small but profitable wine industry. Being a small enclave within Italy, its wine industry is often overshadowed by its larger neighbour. The country produces a number of wines such as Brugneto and Tessano and Biancale and Roncale (still white wines). Grapevines have been cultivated on slopes of San Marino for nearly 2000 years. The oldest known records of winemaking in San Marino stem from the 13th century, however remains of viticulture related objects dating back to 1st century A.D. have been discovered by archeologists. In 1979, Cantina di San Marino (a.k.a. Consorzio Vini Tipici di San Marino) was established. It is the only entity producing wine in San Marino.
