The best wineries in Modena.
The story of Lambrusco comes from far away and includes the charm of the first tales of the poets and writers of the classical period (Virgil, Cato, Varro) who in their works tell of a "Labrusca vitis", or a wild vine, which produced fruit of harsh flavor and that used to grow on the edge of the countryside. Lambrusco, a wine that can be bubbly or sparkling wine, of brilliant ruby red color, was born in Modena and from there spread on the domestic and foreign markets.
Lambrusco let itself be led by its instincts, when with feline movements expresses its vitality when it is poured into the cup: from the evanescent froth a multitude of emotions are given off, in which you recognize the majestic beauty of nature.
Modena goes hand in hand with Lambrusco, certainly they go very well together: in the transparent exuberance of Lambrusco you find the symbolism of the territory that, starting from the simple style of the Romanesque churches, goes through the succulence of food to get to the glamor of elegant sports cars.
Several are the elements from which you capture the importance that viniculture has in Modena, the 8,000 hectares of vineyards, the oldest wine–growing company of the Emilia Romagna region, the presence of Italy’s oldest winery in business, three wineries who celebrated the centenary of their foundation, but especially the fact that viticulture in Modena means Lambrusco PDO, to say, Protected Designation of Origin wines.
In Modena are produced: Lambrusco di Sorbara, Lambrusco Salamino of Santa Croce, Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro, Lambrusco di Modena, and you can safely say that Modena is the territory of Lambrusco PDO.
The "Consorzio Tutela del Lambrusco di Modena" is an inter–professional industry association for the protection, enhancement and general care of the interest on the Designations of Origin: "Lambrusco di Sorbara", "Lambrusco Salamino di S.Croce", "Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro", Modena or Di Modena.
The essential purpose and object of the Consortium is to protect, promote and serve the interests relating to such Designations of Origin.
The new wine CMO (EC Reg. N. 1234/2007) included also the wine sector into the general norm of the European Union for the Agri–Food products of quality with designation of origin. In this framework, the Consortium for the Protection of Lambrusco di Modena stands as authority for coordinating the application of the new provisions described in the Art. 17 of the Legislative Decree n. 61/2010 and will not have to be confined only to the supervision and the legal protection of the pertaining designations but will have to expand its sphere of activity to the institutional promotion and enhancement of the designations themselves.
The Consortium for the Protection of the Reno DOC wines, which includes in its members the most important realities of the vinegrowing and winemaking systems of the provinces of Modena and Bologna, was founded in 1991 with the aim to protect and to enhance the productions that enjoy the Controlled Designation of Origin of the Reno area.
In the area of Sorbara and in the surrounding area, in the zone between Secchia and Panaro, and considered Doc for the production of Lambrusco, the Cavicchioli family owns several vineyards close to which has built its own farms.
In San Prospero, next to the bottling winery, the Due Madonne farm is located, with high–density installations.
A few miles away, in Staggia, Forcirola operates, with Lambrusco Salamino and Lambrusco Grasparossa grapes. In the meantime, in Bastiglia, the company of the same name is located, for white vinification.
To these Modena production units, the "Castel Faglia" winery in Franciacorta are added, and the "Francesco Bellei & C." in Bomporto are added, both specialized in the production of sparkling wine with classical traditional method.
