A HISTORY MADE OF VINES,
PEOPLE AND GOOD WINE
We have been here since 1907. The world around us has seen great changes, but we are still here, together, to carry on our wine history.
Today we are 320 members and for over a century we have been carrying on one of the oldest wine-making traditions in the area: a difficult and unpredictable job, because good wine always gives satisfaction.

OUR VINEYARDS
Our members’ vineyards extend over the plains of the provinces of Reggio Emilia and Modena, which have always been suitable for the production of Lambrusco, and not only, in its Grasparossa, Sorbara, Salamino, Reggiano, Pignoletto and Ancellotta varieties.
State-of-the-art pressing and vinification plants allow to get the most from the grapes of our vineyards through the entire production process.
