The best wineries in Reggio emilia.
The Venturini Baldini farm was founded in 1976 on a historic estate on the hills between Parma and Reggio Emilia. The hills reach an altitude of 370 meters and provide an excellent microclimate for the cultivation of vines, with the sun breaking the winter fog and cold winters that temper the summer heat. The 130-hectare estate, made up of 30 hectares of vineyards and woods and pastures, was one of the first in Emilia Romagna to obtain an organic certification.
Our farm was established in the late sixties by father Rinaldo Rinaldini, who at the time ran with the family a popular restaurant, where wine and sausages were made by hand and where the most authentic dishes of the Emilian cuisine were served.
The company section is located halfway between Reggio Emilia and Parma, at the foot of the Matildiche hills. The love for the land, the admiration and knowledge of the champenois rites grew with time, and this brought our family to be be winemakers.
Due to technique and curiosity, we decided to save ancient vines, otherwise condemned to disappear. In a few years it was proved also how, from lands and vines battered by producers and forgotten by the masters of wine culture, true miracles can come out.
Even today the activity has retained its family character. In effect, to manage the entire processing cycle, from the grapes to the bottle, there is Paola Rinaldini Melegari with her husband Marco and her son Luca. This latter, in addition, is responsible for the care of the vineyards. The cellar was derived from an ancient farmhouse of 1884 that stands at the center of the vineyards.
The Lini winery has a century–old story: it was founded in 1910, in Correggio.
Its wine culture has gone through all the changes that the world of wine has experienced: both in production and in drinking.
Wine is a living product, that reflects the culture of the community. Each oenologist will speak like Lini 910: «I make wine according to my taste, not fads!». Yet, those who make wine live intensely their relationship with the people around them. They try to understand the secret thoughts and their explicit tastes.
And, inevitably, they interpret them in the bottle looking for quality in every choice they make, from the vineyard to the winery. Certainly in the last ten years, the Italian wine has experienced a true "Renaissance": presenting a product that is more immediate to understand and full of values. Reaching a new commercial success and creating a culture that has become almost a fashion.
A story spanning over a century from 1900 and up to date in accordance with a principle: good wine springs in the vineyard and grows in the winery.
It is just the beginning of the latest century, when the grandfather Giuseppe Casali decided to transform its production of wine for the family in a real activity, focused on the enhancement of the vines and wine cellar, on the introduction of the first technologies in support of nature.
Behind the ancient Fortress of Rocca del Boiardo, in Scandiano, the original winery stood, where the grapes were pressed and the juice was left to rest in barrels to become more rewarding to the palate. In this historical winery Giuseppe and his sons have conceived wines and grape varieties that form the cornerstones of the company.
Then, around the early eighties, profound changes took place. A more appropriate place to the expanding market was needed. Thus, from the town center, the winery moved to Pratissolo di Scandiano, in the heart of the vineyards, where a wide range of crop varieties which created fine and original wines are grown.
Ten years ago the company was purchased by the families and Galaverni and Zoboli which, in 2004, joined the Accountant Boni and five years after Giovanni Sidoli. The entrepreneurial experience of the new business partners, in the field of agriculture, food and wine and high–level hotellerie, gave to Casali Viticultori new vitality. In this way, a strong propensity towards foreign markets and an intelligent synergy with local traditions and places of the accueil was created.
Owned by the Fontana family in the Sixties, LA PICCOLA ESTATE is located in the heart of Emilia, between the provinces of Reggio Emilia and Parma.
The company consists of a single body of 25 hectares, all of property, entirely grown with vines and organic. The production area is particularly suited; on the Reggio banks of the river Enza, at an altitude of 105 meters above sea level. Our soils have the best climatic and geological features, to whom we owe the high quality of the wine we produce.
The turning point towards high quality was implemented in the nineties, when Mr. Licinio Fontana, returning from a trip to Burgundy and other journeys between Tuscany and South Tyrol, understood to have to change the estate, implementing the most stringent production parameters to obtain high quality wines. Yesterday mocked by fellow producers, today guiding light for many companies that recognize the LA PICCOLA ESTATE style, the winner style. The other winning bet was the formation of a team of men, who, through their work, have allowed the realization of the project. For the men of LA PICCOLA ESTATE, making wine is an ancient art, a passion known and respected that comes from the deep and vital bond that unites them to the ground. An attentive love, made up of habits unchanged over time, outlining a work towards the future. A young and dynamic staff, always on the pursuit of perfection, led by a young oenologist, Dr. Giulio Davoli, aided by winemakers and vinegrowers of great experience.
The Cooperative Winery of Arceto is now a historical reality of the Hills of Reggio, with its four hundred members who contribute to the production of Lambrusco and Reggiano of quality.
Now run by the fourth generation of the Medici family, the company boasts sound experience both in the vineyards and in the winery, which allows them to make the finest of wine from the grapes they grow.
What lies behind the family's success is the idea of creating a close link between the individual vineyards and the wines produced, and the rigorous selection of the grapes, which sometimes leads to a yield that is as much as 30-40% lower than the quantity required to comply with the production regulations governing the DOC (Registered Designation of Origin) label, but which guarantees wines of unprecedented quality. The production cycle is completed with a skilful vinification process, using entirely new machinery, and a wine-growing philosophy in complete harmony with nature and the environment.
The response from the market was immediate, and our wines have gone from strength to strength; superb reviews in the specialised guides, as well as a number of highly coveted awards, have earned Medici Ermete labels a place among Italy's top wines.
Our Lambrusco is the first in the area to have joined the élite list of the country's most prestigious wines.
