What you can expect

Visit a historic family-owned farm located in the heart of the Food Valley. Explore an important wine and vinegar estate situated along the Enza River valley, a renowned region known for its optimal conditions for cultivating native grape varieties.

Set on alluvial soils ideal for producing Lambrusco Reggiano DOC, the property features an 1800s building surrounded by flourishing vineyards, embodying centuries of winemaking tradition.

The estate includes a dedicated museum housed within a restored rural structure, showcasing traditional tools and equipment that illustrate the viticultural cycle and key stages of wine production. Recognised as part of the “19 Museums of Taste” in Emilia-Romagna, the museum offers valuable insights into local culinary heritage.

A notable feature is the acetaia (vinegar factory), where traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia DOP is crafted in a series of wooden barrels of varying sizes. The ageing process, which lasts a minimum of 12 years and often over 25 years, develops a complex and refined flavour profile, making it an authentic elixir that can elevate a variety of dishes. It is frequently enjoyed by adding a few drops to strawberries, desserts, Parmigiano Reggiano or used as a finishing touch on sauces and meats.

Enjoy an immersive experience inside the acetaia and museum. Learn about the family’s history, the local terroir, and the native vineyards. Culminate your tour with a tasting session, where you sample three different aged Balsamic Vinegars, each with distinct flavour profiles linked to their maturation periods. These are paired with three local wines and small regional delicacies, giving you a true taste of Emilia-Romagna’s rich culinary tradition.
