About this wine
Grapes

Vinification
Traditional winemaking preserves the freshness of the fruit and the intensity of its aromas.
Tasting profile
A very approachable semisweet red with generous fruit flavours, balanced sweetness and gentle acidity. A light spicy note runs through it. The style is soft and fruit-forward.
Serving and pairing
Giving the wine some air brings out its full flavour, making it richer and deeper.
Label / history
Cantina Puianello was founded in 1938 by five winemaking families who joined forces to produce classic wines from Emilia-Romagna. Further members joined the cooperative over time, and its vineyards grew to 300 ha, 80% of them on hillsides. Most of the Emilia wine region lies on the Po River Valley plain, but some of its best vineyards are in the Apennine foothills, close to the border with Tuscany. In 2005, after a merger with Coviolo, the cooperative had 398 members and 436 ha of vineyards. In 2012 it carried out a major renovation of the winery and upgraded its equipment.
