Vigna Cunial

Founded in the early 2000s, Vigna Cunial is a family-run, certified organic winery spanning approximately 30 hectares, with 15 hectares dedicated to vineyards on the picturesque hills of Parma, in the commune of Traversetolo. Committed to producing natural, organic wines, the estate follows agronomic practices that respect the microbiological balance of the soil, water, local ecosystems, and the natural rhythms of life.

The vineyards, situated at elevations between 200 and 400 meters above sea level, are planted on highly calcareous, marine-origin soils that impart a unique mineral character and complexity to the wines, distinguished by pronounced saline notes.

Since 2007, Vigna Cunial has been dedicated to the revival of Parma’s ancient Malvasia grape. Registered in 2018 as the only native grape variety of the Parma Province, this grape was originally known as “Malvasia odorosissima” and was later renamed “Malvasia Casalini” in honor of Mr. Casalini, a custodian of some of the oldest vines. Research shows this grape has ancient origins and is likely a descendant of the Muscat of Alexandria. "Malvasia Casalini" stands apart from other local Malvasias, yielding exceptional results in winemaking, particularly in sparkling wine production.

Vigna Cunial is an active member of Vi.Te. (Vignaioli e Territori), the Natural Wine Association, reflecting its commitment to environmental stewardship and biodiversity. In addition to vineyards, the estate cultivates various heritage fruit varieties, and native Mulazzano olive trees, and preserves local biodiversity with hedgerows and broadleaf woodlands, enhancing the landscape’s natural balance.

Vigna Cunial offers a selection of organic wines, including Primorosso (Barbera IGT), Monteroma (Malvasia IGT), Rosato Spumante brut (Pinot Nero, Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay), Brigliasciolta (Pinot Nero IGT), Valle di Sivizzano (Sauvignon IGT), Riserva (Syrah), Valtermina (Chardonnay IGT), and Rosso del Conte (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot). They also produce Grappa from Barbera and Malvasia grapes, and an apple cider. Each wine reflects the region’s unique terroir and organic practices.
