Agriturismo San Paolo

The farming tradition of the Selmi family dates back to 1960, when grandfather Gino began following in his parents’ footsteps on the family farm. In the 2000s, the management of Podere San Paolo was passed down to his grandchildren, marking the start of a renewal cycle without ever forgetting the teachings of their grandfather. Everything we’ve created over these years of activity is embodied here in our wines.

With eight hectares of land passed down from generation to generation, Podere San Paolo is a living testament to how traditional teachings blend with innovative production techniques. The essential foundation for great wine is excellent raw material, and the wines of Azienda Agricola San Paolo perfectly encapsulate this belief. The grapes, grown exclusively in our vineyards in Castelfranco Emilia, are hand-harvested to preserve their integrity from the vineyard to the cellar. This meticulous process ensures that the grapes’ finest characteristics are maintained, resulting in a product of unique and authentic quality.

Our work goes beyond creating quality wine and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena D.O.P.; we also craft unique products such as Saba and Onion Jam with ABTM. San Paolo is also home to an exceptional restaurant that redefines the concept of agritourism, offering a bridge between tradition and innovation. Here, the authenticity and territoriality of raw ingredients are used to explore flavors and experiment with new combinations.

Join us on a journey through the vinicultural history of Podere San Paolo, where a passion for tradition meets the production of our extraordinary wines and Balsamic “black gold.” It is here that the unforgettable bond between the land and the palate is created.
