Fattoria Monticino Rosso

The history of the Farm began with the purchase of the first group, the Olmo estate, to which a second, bigger one was added twenty years later. Monticino Rosso is a place already surveyed in the Napoleonic era, as a property of the noble Codronchi Torelli family of Imola. To it, which has contributed historically to preserve the nature and tradition of these places, Codronchio is symbolically dedicated, one of the best labels of production, together with the valuable raisin wine from Malvasia grapes, son of a very severe selection in the vineyard.
