Cantina Paltrinieri, a century-long story
For a century, the farm has been much more than a business: it’s family, memory, and roots that continue to live on through time.
Founded in 1926 by Achille Paltrinieri just north of Modena, the winery is now in its fourth generation, passionately championing traditional and unconventional expressions of this celebrated Emilia-Romagna terroir.
Key points:
- The 1926 Origins: Achille Paltrinieri built the original house and winery, dedicating his life to the land between the Secchia and Panaro rivers.
- The Sorbara Specialists: The Paltrinieri family owns and farms approximately 15 to 17 hectares of vineyards, particularly in the historic Il Cristo zone.
- The Modern Era: Since 1998, current winemaker Alberto Paltrinieri (Achille’s grandson) and his wife, Barbara Galassi, have helmed the estate. Alberto was a pioneer in producing the first mono-varietal Lambrusco di Sorbara, redefining the wine’s artisanal potential.
