About this wine

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

Fresh and refined.

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.
