About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The Ancellotta is grown in the province of Emilia. Most of the Emilia wine region lies on the plain of the Po River valley, but some of the area's best vineyards are in the foothills of the Apennines, near the border with Tuscany. Of the cooperative's vineyards, 80% are on mountain slopes.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and sugar levels. The wine is made by the traditional red winemaking method. Fermentation is stopped by cooling, which leaves some residual sugar in the wine.
Tasting profile
Delicate fruity taste, semi-sweet.
Serving and pairing
Pairs with pasta, grilled meat and desserts.
Label / history
Cantina Puianello was founded in 1938 by five winemaking families to produce classic wines from Emilia-Romagna. New members joined the cooperative over time. After a merger with Coviolo in 2005, it had 398 members and 436 hectares of vineyards. In 2012 the winery was extensively renovated and its equipment upgraded.
