The family moved from Romagna's hinterland in 1962 and purchased land with Sangiovese and Albana vineyards, originally cultivated using the alberello system.

Tenuta Borri
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €15.00
Tenuta Borri, managed by Andrea Pradelli, is a historic estate located in the Travo area within the Trebbia River valley.
The estate, which spans around 5 hectares, has been in the Borri family for at least five generations. After the vineyards were revitalized in 2008, Andrea, an agronomist, took over full-time management, focusing on traditional, sustainable practices. The vineyards, located at altitudes between 400 and 700 meters, benefit from favorable pedoclimatic conditions and manual cultivation. The estate avoids using fertilizers and herbicides, opting instead for minimal phytosanitary treatments, and focuses on traditional winemaking methods enhanced by modern refinements. Fermentation is spontaneous, relying on indigenous yeasts, and sulfur dioxide is used sparingly. The estate prioritizes quality and environmental stewardship, consciously choosing not to pursue organic certification due to the local presence of Flavescence dorée, which necessitates the use of insecticides. The result is a collection of wines that reflect the unique terroir and dedication to craftsmanship.

Provides 4 wine tastings and winery visit from €49.50

The land benefits from the ideal microclimate of Predappio, characterized by its rich clay soils and gentle breezes from the Apennine Mountains. This distinctive environment allows Pandolfa to produce wines of exceptional quality and character. Visitors to Pandolfa are invited to explore the lush vineyards, walk through the historic villa, and immerse themselves in the timeless beauty of the estate. The fusion of art, history, and winemaking at Pandolfa offers an unparalleled experience for travelers seeking to discover the soul of Emilia-Romagna.
Medici Ermete
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €20.00
Founded in 1890 by Remigio Medici, Medici Ermete is a historic winery with roots along the Via Emilia, a vital commercial road in Reggio Emilia. Remigio, who owned three successful taverns, established the winery to capitalize on the family vineyards located between the Via Emilia and the foothills of the Enza Valley. His son, Ermete, expanded the business, cementing the winery's reputation, and passed the legacy to his sons, Valter and Giorgio, who propelled the brand onto the global stage. The 1970s saw a "Lambrusco boom" in the United States, making it one of the first Italian wines to achieve international acclaim. However, the 1980s brought challenges with an influx of low-quality, mass-produced Lambrusco that tarnished the wine’s reputation. In 1988, the fourth generation—Alberto, Pierluigi, and later Alessandra—joined the company and spearheaded a revolution in Lambrusco production. They replanted the vineyards, reducing yields by 35% to focus on quality, a move that led to the creation of the "Concerto" in 1993, a CRU of Lambrusco Salamino. Today, Medici Ermete stands as a beacon of excellence, blending tradition with innovation, and offering visitors a chance to explore the rich history and evolving future of Lambrusco in the heart of Emilia-Romagna.
Tenuta Uccellina
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 2 wine tastings and winery visit from €17.00
Tenuta Uccellina, established in 1960 by Ugo Rusticali, is nestled in the rolling hills of Romagna, close to the Adriatic Sea. The estate has been a symbol of quality and tradition in winemaking, passed down through generations to Alberto Rusticali, who has dedicated his life to perfecting the craft. The winery's philosophy emphasizes the utmost respect for the grapes, both in the vineyard and the cellar. Field management is conducted with a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, minimizing interventions and phytosanitary treatments according to the annual climate conditions. Manual harvesting is a cornerstone of the estate's approach, ensuring that only grapes in perfect health and at optimal ripeness are selected. This meticulous selection process allows for minimal use of sulfites throughout production, preserving the natural character of the wines.
Each grape variety is handled differently, drawing on decades of winemaking expertise to bring out the best in every vintage. Hermes Rusticali, Alberto's son, represents the future of Tenuta Uccellina. A graduate in Viticulture and Oenology, Hermes combines his deep respect for tradition with a forward-looking approach, experimenting with new techniques and technologies to continually enhance the quality of the wines. The Rusticali family’s enduring legacy is one of innovation rooted in tradition, with a profound connection to the land that has nurtured their vineyards for over six decades. The estate remains a testament to the dedication and passion that have defined Tenuta Uccellina’s journey from its humble beginnings to its current status as a respected name in Romagna’s winemaking landscape.
Agrivar di Palazzo di Varignana società agricola
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 2 wine tastings and winery visit from €18.00
The Palazzo di Varignana estate presents its new winery: 1,100 square meters built according to the principles of semi-subterranean architecture, made from natural materials representative of the local area, such as olive wood and red brick, perfectly incorporated into the surrounding landscape.
The tasting room is characterized by stylish design finishes and colors reminiscent of autumn foliage, where the view extends toward the terrace overlooking the spectacular vineyard currently being converted to organic production. As well as the native grape varieties, such as Sangiovese, Albana, Famoso, Malbo Gentile, and Pignoletto, you can find international varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, and Chardonnay.
We use state-of-the-art production technologies to guarantee the protection of the authenticity and organoleptic properties of our wines. The cellar, under its imposing red brick vaults, houses the French oak barrels in which the young wines rest and refine to reach the right level of aging and become the best expression of the terroir and the vines that produced them. Among the Spumantes you’ll find bottles of Villa Amagioia on the characteristic pupitre wine racks, traditionally used for the remuage process, the last key step in preparation for the disgorgement typical of the Metodo Classico (Champagne Method).
The winery and vineyards are situated in a wonderful natural amphitheater, an exceptional location that, since last July, has hosted various events related to the world of wine tourism, such as concerts and open-air cinema with tastings.
The tasting room is open from Wednesday to Sunday, offering visitors a unique experience to discover our wines: Chardonnay, Spumante Metodo Classico, Pinot Noir, and Sangiovese Superiore.
LA CAMINA' DI BARGAZZI ROBERTO
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €25.00
La Caminà Winery is located in the picturesque Piacenza hills of the Arda Valley, specifically in the hamlet of Bacedasco Basso, a region known for its rich winemaking tradition.

Acetaia Sereni
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 8 wine tastings and winery visit from €22.00
Acetaia Sereni, with its roots in the early twentieth century, began producing balsamic vinegar under the care of Santina, who joined the Sereni family through marriage. As a housewife, she would prepare traditional Modena meals for her large family, often using balsamic vinegar as a key condiment. To meet her family's needs, Santina produced a few liters of balsamic vinegar each year, a tradition that has since grown into a renowned family business.
Today, Acetaia Sereni is managed by Pier Luigi Sereni, his wife Elisabetta, and their sons Umberto and Francesco. The family now oversees more than 1,500 casks of balsamic vinegar, aged in prized wooden barrels, and exports their exceptional product worldwide. In addition to their balsamic vinegar, the estate is home to over 1,000 olive trees, from which they produce a delicate and fruity extra-virgin olive oil, once again establishing it as a typical product of Modena.
In 2012, the Sereni family expanded their operations by adding a farm holiday center, Agriturismo Acetaia Sereni, located atop a picturesque hill. Here, guests can enjoy traditional Modena dishes, all enhanced with the estate's balsamic vinegar and olive oil, alongside local wines and produce from the estate's vegetable garden. The agriturismo also offers six comfortable rooms, providing a serene and relaxing stay amidst the beautiful Modena countryside.
TerraQuilia - La Cantina
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 2 wine tastings and winery visit from €40.00
Born from the love of the land and its fruits, in accordance with the environment, our cellar Terraquilia is set in Guiglia, a village located in a pristine and natural landscape.
The owner, Romano Mattioli, thought and realized his winery for all those who appreciate wine as an expression of a production philosophy rooted in the past. At about 450 m above sea level, the vineyards and the cellar are handled in full compliance with traditions, according to the seasons and to the slow natural rhythms, creating the right balance between vine and wine. Our products interpret the tradition of these lands, inherited by the first winemakers, our ancestors. Without the support of modern technology, they knew how to exploit the seasonal trend to control the fermentation process.
Our constant effort is aimed to limit as many as possible any alterations: first of all in our grapes, both during the harvest (by hand and in small cases) and during crushing (soft crushing), and of course, in every vinification phase in the cellar (for example, the gravity bottling without the use of pumps). As producers of natural wines, we are firmly convinced that it is possible to win this challenge: to give wine lovers a product, which is able to guarantee quality for the right period of time, preserving all flavors and aromas.
Fattoria Moretto
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €25.00
Fattoria Moretto is currently run by Fausto and Fabio, the third generation of the Altariva family. The winery's origins trace back to the early 1960s when their grandfather, Antonio Altariva, moved the family from Pavullo nel Frignano to the hills of Castelvetro to start a winemaking venture under a sharecropping contract. Initially, Antonio traded Grasparossa grapes and Lambrusco in carboys. In 1971, his son Domenico, along with his wife Albertina, purchased 2.5 hectares of land, planting the family's first vineyard and establishing a cellar on the adjacent property. Domenico's passion for viticulture and the production of Lambrusco Grasparossa grew over time, a passion he passed down to his sons, Fabio and Fausto, from a young age.
In 1991, the brothers, now in their twenties, decided to elevate the winery's quality by transitioning from selling bulk wine to producing and selling bottled Lambrusco di Grasparossa DOC. With the support of their parents, they built a larger cellar and formally established Fattoria Moretto, launching their first labeled bottles. Initially, all the wines were naturally fermented in the bottle. Over time, more Grasparossa vineyards were added on the Castelvetro hills, with the vineyards being cultivated using the spurred cordon and Guyot systems. These vineyards benefit from excellent ventilation, which tempers the summer heat and protects the plants from diseases.
In 1995, Fausto decided to convert vineyard cultivation to the "integrated production" method, marking the first step towards organic farming. By the late 1990s, the winery adopted the "Martinotti" or "Charmat" method, in a continuous quest for cleaner and more elegant products. The older vineyards have now become central to the production of the family's flagship "cru" wines.
Today, Fattoria Moretto's production is focused on expressing the unique characteristics of the Lambrusco Grasparossa territory, emphasizing quality over quantity.
Monte delle Vigne
(Winery in Emilia-Romagna)
Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €30.00
Founded in 1983, Monte delle Vigne started with a small 7-hectare vineyard and a vision to revive the native grapes of Colli di Parma through sustainable practices. The winery has grown to encompass 40 hectares, producing a diverse range of wines from native varieties like Barbera and Malvasia, as well as international grapes such as Merlot, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc.
In 1992, Monte delle Vigne introduced Nabucco, the first still red wine produced in Parma, a blend of Barbera and Merlot aged in French oak barrels. This wine quickly became a symbol of the winery and the region. A few years later, Callas, a 100% Malvasia di Candia, followed, showcasing the white grape’s mineral and crisp elegance.
The winery's growth accelerated in 2003 when Paolo Pizzarotti became the major shareholder, driving expansion and international competitiveness. Innovations such as the 2006 underground cellar with geothermal technology and rainwater recovery solidified Monte delle Vigne’s commitment to eco-sustainability. This approach culminated in the 2021 harvest when the winery was officially certified organic by the ICEA.
Monte delle Vigne continues to innovate, with new labels like Brusata, Il Chiuso, Ginestra, and Quattro Laghi, each telling the story of the unique terroir of Ozzano Taro and the Colli di Parma. Today, the winery blends tradition with modern viticulture, producing wines that reflect the character and history of the land.
More information on Emilia-Romagna
Emilia Romagna is the perfect destination if you want to enjoy memorable wine tastings and winery visits while discovering some of Italy's most iconic food products. This region was born by the union of two different territories, Emilia and Romagna. Emilia, located in the hinterland, is the land of many PDO and PGI products that represent Italy's food excellence, such as Parmigiano Reggiano, traditional balsamic vinegar and Prosciutto di Parma. Romagna instead borders the Adriatic Sea and is known for its beaches, filled with nightlife during summer, and suggestive hill villages.
Emilia Romagna represents one of the largest wine-growing areas in Italy with over 60.000 hectares and, while here, you will have the chance to experience the variety of wines produced in this area during your wine tastings. The difference between Emilia and Romagna in fact is clear also when looking at the types of wines produced and cultivated grapes. Emilia, the western part, is the land of Lambrusco, a sparkling red wine. In Romagna instead, located on the eastern side, wines are mostly still and produced with Sangiovese, Albana and Pignoletto grapes. Together, the two areas of Emilia Romagna boast 18 DOC, two DOCG and nine IGT appellations.
Which food to taste in Emilia-Romagna?
The distinction between Emilia and Romagna becomes even clearer when looking at the traditional dishes eaten within the region. Nevertheless, throughout the region's territory, you will be able to savor many of Italy's excellencies between a wine tasting and a winery tour. Not by chance, this area is known as Italy's Food Valley. Emilia is the land of fresh egg pasta like tagliatelle with Bolognese ragù, tortellini and tortelloni, cold cuts like Prosciutto di Parma and Culatello di Zibello, Parmiggiano Reggiano and other specialties like Erbazzone. Romagna's cuisine instead includes more fish-based dishes with products like clams and sardines. Fresh pasta plays a big role also in Romagna's cuisine, with shapes like tagliatelle and ravioli. Finally, Romagna's most iconic dish is perhaps Piadina, a sort of flatbread.
Which wines to taste in Emilia-Romagna?
About two-thirds of Emilia Romagna's viticulture is concentrated in its plains. Even so, the region offers a great variety of wines you will discover during your wine tastings and visits to wineries. Within Emilia's area, the most widespread black grape varieties are Barbera, Croatina and Bonarda, as well as many grapes from the Lambrusco family (Salamino, Maestri, Marani, di Sorbara, Grasparossa and Montericco). Malvasia di Candia, Ortrugo and Moscato bianco are instead the most common white grape varieties. Some international grape varieties can also be found, such as Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Riesling and Müller-Thurgau. In Romagna, the most widespread black grape variety is instead Sangiovese, and the most widespread white one is Trebbiano Romagnolo. Other common varieties found in this area are Pagadebit and Albana.
Which is the best season to visit Emilia-Romagna?
