Super consigliato!
Il tour è supervisionato da Luna, una cagnolina simpatica e non invadente.
La location è immersa in un contesto di pace e tranquillità sulle colline modenesi.
I vini sono ottimi e, a fine della degustazione, non siamo riuscite a fare a meno di comprare un paio di bottiglie di vino a testa.
Tutto perfetto e super consigliato!

About Winery and Wines
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.
In the heart of the territory of Lambrusco Grasparossa, about 200 meters above sea level, Fausto and Fabio Altariva feelingly cultivated their lands. The farm, completely run with organic methods, is extended into non-adjacent parcels on the hills of Castelvetro. The vineyards of Lambrusco Grasparossa are reared through a runner system and Guyot pruning, with exposure to the south/south-east, on cly-loams. The area has good ventilation which tempers the summer heat and protects plants from disease. The vinification is in line with organic farming and appropriate mitigation of environmental impact, with very long periods of contact with yeasts, to give more wholeness to the wine. The wines, all alone, express the personality of Lambrusco Grasparossa territory.
