Vineyard and terroir
The Lambrusco Montericco is grown in Puianello’s vineyards in Emilia-Romagna, on limestone and clay soils.
Vinification
The grapes are generally harvested by hand in the first half of October. They undergo cold skin maceration at 5 °C, followed by fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. Following the Ancestrale method, alcoholic fermentation is deliberately stopped before resuming in the bottle.
Ageing
The wine rests in bottle for at least 10–12 months.
Tasting profile

Label / history
Cantina Puianello was founded in 1938 by five winemaking families as a cooperative producing the classic wines of Emilia-Romagna. Its membership and vineyards subsequently expanded. Following a merger with Coviolo, it had 398 members and 436 ha of vineyards in 2005. The winery underwent a major renovation and equipment upgrade in 2012.
