One of the most famous climbs in all of Romagna, the Barbotto was decisive in the Giro Donne 2022: with over 50 kilometers to go, Annemiek Van Vleuten managed to make the difference here, winning the stage and mortgaging her third Giro. The Barbotto is also one of the hardest climbs of the Nove Colli gran Fondo. The noble side is the one that rises from Mercato Saraceno and on the top there is a plaque commemorating one who often trained here: Marco Pantani.

Existing since the 1950s, the bar on the top of Colle del Barbotto has seen many editions of the Giro d'Italia pass through here, among other races. Here the piadina is excellent, the tagliatelle are exquisite and cycling memorabilia abounds. The current owner, Francesco, is a great bike enthusiast and will welcome those who ride with open arms.
