Medici Ermete
(Winery in Lambrusco)
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.
TerraQuilia - La Cantina
(Winery in Lambrusco)
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.

Giacobazzi vini
(Winery in Lambrusco)

The Giacobazzi family has cultivated vineyards for generations, and today, the winery is recognized for its commitment to quality and its distinctive approach to winemaking.
Fattoria Moretto
(Winery in Lambrusco)
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.
Tenuta La Piccola
(Winery in Lambrusco)
Provides 2 wine tastings and winery visit from €35.00
Tenuta La Piccola is located in the heart of Emilia, nestled between the provinces of Reggio Emilia and Parma. Owned by the Fontana family since the 1960s, the estate spans 25 hectares of organically cultivated vineyards. Positioned near the banks of the Enza River, at an elevation of 105 meters above sea level, the land is perfectly suited for producing high-quality grapes. The unique climate and geological conditions in this region contribute to the exceptional quality of the wines. In the 1990s, Mr. Licinio Fontana, inspired by his travels through Burgundy, Tuscany, and Alto Adige, implemented strict production parameters aimed at creating premium wines. Though initially met with skepticism by other producers, Tenuta La Piccola has since become a reference point for those seeking to follow in Fontana’s footsteps. The estate remains committed to organic farming, not as a trend, but as a lifestyle choice that respects the environment and ensures the purity of the land.

Cantina Cleto Chiarli
(Winery in Lambrusco)
Dalla volontà della famiglia Chiarli di unificare la conduzione delle tenute agricole di proprietà e di realizzare una Cantina dedicata alla produzione di vini di alta gamma nasce nel 2001 a Castelvetro, nel cuore della campagna modenese, la Cleto Chiarli Tenute Agricole. E’ il coronamento di una storia d’imprenditoria vinicola iniziata nel lontano 1860 quando nell’anno dell’Unità d’Italia Cleto Chiarli - trisavolo dei fratelli Anselmo e Mauro che rappresentano la quarta generazione - avvia per primo a Modena la produzione di Lambrusco segnando il fortunato inizio di quella che è poi diventata l’attività della famiglia per il futuro a venire.
Per ottenere un buon vino non è sufficiente disporre di uve di qualità. Per produrre quella ‘particolare bottiglia’ occorre che nelle persone ci sia passione, amore per la propria terra, identità famigliare e costante impegno nella ricerca della perfezione e rispetto per il vino.
Valori che si conquistano anno dopo anno, vendemmia dopo vendemmia, generazione dopo generazione. Oggi la Famiglia Chiarli continua ad affrontare la sfida di produrre vini che trasmettano questi ideali, che siano piacevoli, legati alla propria terra, accessibili a tutti, innovativi, senza mcompromessi, spesso sorprendenti. In poche parole, Chiarli vuole garantire al consumatore che sta bevendo il miglior vino che la più grande, antica e blasonata azienda familiare dell’Emilia Romagna, possa creare. E di questo ne siamo orgogliosi.
