Later, my grandfather was introduced to the world of agriculture so he could learn the trade his father had already started. In 1978, he purchased 11 hectares of land in Castelnuovo Rangone where, a few years later, in 1984, he built the current cellar and planted new vineyards... this was the beginning of the current company!
After my studies, in 2004, I decided to work in the family and begin my journey in the world of wine alongside my grandfather, my mentor!
Today, with the help of my wife Mara and my parents, I continue what my grandfather built with great effort and sacrifice.
Winemaker, by passion and tradition
Facing us is the highest mountain in the Apennines, Monte Cimone, which provides us with a perfect microclimate for producing our sparkling wines. With the clayey soil of the Apennines mixed with sand, and an eastern exposure, vineyard work begins with very short pruning to produce few buds, allowing the vine to bestow all its elixir on a few bunches. These few bunches will have a savory, fragrant, and flavorful concentrate of pulp.
During the summer green pruning, however, we do not cut as much. We always leave the bunches uncovered but with a good supply of leaves. My grandfather always said that the leaves are the lungs of the vine.
Beneath our plants there is grass, there is life, there is a nourishing and important ecosystem for the plant that I want to protect.
All the grapes are grown entirely by us. Only by vinifying the grapes directly, following tradition and with constant monitoring of the entire winemaking cycle, from the care of the vine rows to the harvest, up to the vinification, storage, aging and bottling, can we obtain my wines.
the vineyards
Terra, tradizione natura
Castelvetro di Modena
Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro
This 3-hectare plot of land is my first big step into solitude after the inheritance left by my grandfather.
It’s a great thrill, especially because this is an exclusive area. Here, the Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro was discovered, an area protected by the Bologna Fine Arts Council, which manages our region’s landscape heritage.
The clayey, calanco soil is crucial for the structure and intense color of the wine. These characteristics will continue to enrich my wine.
Castelnuovo Rangone
Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro
The vineyard that is dear to my heart, here there is a wealth of history with a perfect combination of clay, sand and limestone soil.
The vineyard uses the historic tree-trained system, now unique in the province, with very few vines per hectare that yield incredibly fragrant grapes.
The explosive and complex aromas of red fruit found in the grapes from this vineyard are unique.
Bomporto
Lambrusco di Sorbara
In the province of Bomporto, a plain originally marshy, enriched by the Secchia and Panaro rivers flowing down from the Apennines, has never been deprived of water.
The soil is predominantly sandy, ensuring good drainage and rich in potassium. This allows us to harvest grapes that will yield a wine with a pronounced acidity and rich in fine and elegant aromas such as rose, strawberry, pink grapefruit, and orange peel.
