About the red wine from the Sangiovese variety there is a nice story with the famous Italian composer Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868), born in the city of Pesaro. He had to write the overture to the opera "The Barber of Seville" under great time pressure at the urging of his publisher. He supposedly only managed to do this on time and in very impressive quality because he got the necessary inspiration and drive by enjoying his favourite red wine from the Novilara hills in the Colli Pesaresi area
