Magical Winetasting Experience

Rate: 5 out of 5 10/1/25

My best friend and I recently celebrated my 55th birthday at Tenuta La Piccola, and had a truly wonderful time! This small, independently owned estate is everything you'd want from a countryside winery in Italy, from gorgeous vine-draped stone-and-wood buildings set beside acres of vineyards, to an adorable dog and a flock of geese. Between the friendly, helpful and knowledgable Monica and the wryly funny, deeply committed winemaker, Giuseppe, we enjoyed a deep dive into the sustainably run winery's elegant Lambruscos and dynamic red and white blends, as well as an overview of winemaking history in Emilia Romagna. Don't skip the huge, delicious salumi and cheese pairing option, and know that you'll be beautifully taken care of here. We're glad we purchased a few bottles to take with us for the rest of our trip through the region, as these were some of the best wines we had in Italy!
Be sure to mention to people visiting from Parma that there's a closer train station -- the trip back was much quicker than the trip there. :)

Degustazione Tenuta la Piccola

Rate: 5 out of 5 11/1/24

L’esperienza di degustazione è stato un regalo. Siamo stati accolti dai proprietari e dal cagnolone Gaia in una cornice autunnale suggestiva. La visita alla cantina e la degustazione con il racconto della storia di Giuseppe e della sua famiglia, molto interessante. I vini che abbiamo degustato ci sono piaciuti molto, esperienza che consigliamo.

vini al di sopra delle aspettative
esperienza di degustazione interessante, ma TROPPO limitata agli assaggi e priva di giro cantina e giro vigna

Tradizionali & Moderni

Rate: 5 out of 5 8/1/23

Lo spirito di tenuta La Piccola e uno spirito che dovrebbero avere tutti, quello di mantenere le tradizioni ma aggiungendo del moderno senza stravolgere quello che è la vera Tradizione della Produzione di Vini.
Il confezionamento non che le etichette molto originali eleganti e raffinate.
Ci siamo sentiti coccolati e viziati con buon cibo ed ottimi vini appunto.
Consigliamo assolutamente i seguenti Vini,
1. Lambrusco Ciò da un gusto magnifico
2. JOKE un Bruit che coccola il palato senza riempiere la bocca di inutile aria piena di solfiti.
3. Petit ROSĖ, e la prima volta che bevo un rosato che non dia odore forte di alcohol e da un sapore delicato.
Grazie a TENUTA LA PICCOLA per questa esperienza

About Winery and Wines

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.

At Tenuta La Piccola, we believe in letting the land speak through our wines. Each bottle is a testament to our organic farming methods and commitment to quality. Our range includes a variety of unique offerings, such as Nero di Cio, a deep, rich red, and Picol Ross, which showcases the vibrant character of Emilia's terroir. We also produce Malvasia Secca and L'Ernesto Malvasia Dolce, each highlighting the fragrant and aromatic qualities of the Malvasia grape. For those seeking something special, our sparkling wines Mes e Mes and Le Petit Rosé add a touch of elegance to any occasion. The estate’s diverse selection, cultivated with care and respect for nature, continues to set a standard for organic wine production in the region.
