Cantina Paltrinieri’s 100th anniversary!!

Feb. 2nd, 2026

A tasting of Cantina Paltrinieri‘s entire range in Ankara (Turkey) to celebrate the winery’s 100th anniversary – now in its fourth generation, with Giovanni and Cecilia at the helm.

Tradition. Passion. Love for wine.

Indulge in the world of Lambrusco and disover the magic that awaits in every bottle.

Cantina Paltrinieri has become synonymous with excellence in the world of Lambrusco.

Their roots go back to the early 20th century when the Paltrinieri family began cultivating vineyards in the Emilia-Romagna region.
Over the years, their dedication to traditional winemaking techniques and a deep respect for the land has allowed them to produce wines of unparalleled quality.
Cantina Paltrinieri is today run by Alberto Paltrinieri and his family and is recognized as a leading producer of Lambrusco wines.

Cantina Paltrinieri is located in Cristo di Sorbara, near the Modena state, in a small town, near the Secchia and Panaro rivers, the historic scene of the street.

The vines are located in an ideal position and they alone produce all the grapes from which the wines are made. Here we are at the heart of the Lambrusco di Sorbara production area in the province of Modena, in the region of Emilia. Paltrinieri Lambrusco di Sorbaras stand out for their finesse and distinctive taste.

Kerin O’Keefe’s 2025 Top 100

Stefania del Giudice — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 10:00:23 +0000

Kerin O’Keefe’s 2025 Top 100: nice awards for Massolino, Paltrinieri and Patrizia Cencioni.

Their Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda, Lambrusco Radice and Brunello Ofelio are in the 2025 TOP 100 wines. Congratulations!

#14 of 2025: Massolino’s Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda 2019 with 98 Points

"The impressive 2019 Vigna Rionda Riserva from Massolino captivates with its combination of structure, intensity and elegance. It opens with classic Barolo aromas of red berry, wild rose, dark spice, leather and a balsamic whiff of camphor that on the composed, full-bodied palate segue into more defined sensations of crushed raspberry, cranberry, licorice and tobacco. Showing the nuance of this extraordinary vintage, it’s still youthfully austere, with a backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that lends youthful tension. This is one I’d love to try again in ten years or so. Drink 2034–2049"

Kerin O'Keefe

#61 of 2025
Patrizia Cencioni’s Brunello di Montalcino Ofelio 2021 with 96 Points

"The Patrizia Cencioni 2021 Brunello Ofelio is a stunning wine. It opens with heady scents of sandalwood, underbrush, lavender, Mediterranean scrub, new leather and cedar. Picking up where the nose leaves off, the full-bodied, focused palate delivers ripe red plum, black cherry, licorice and vanilla set against firm, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Still quite young and primary, this promises great aging potential so give it time to fully develop. Drink 2033–2046."

Kerin O'Keefe

#94 of 2025: Paltrinieri’s Lambrusco di Sorbara Radice 2024 with 94 Points

"The 2024 Radice, a benchmark wine in the denomination along with its sibling Leclisse, opens with delicately enticing aromas of small red berry, violet, lavender, citrus and wild herb. Showing great racy tension, the palate is bone-dry and savory, featuring pomegranate, cranberry, blood orange and saline notes. Made with the ancestral method of bottling the wine while still on its lees, as you get toward the bottom of the bottle, you’ll also find yeasty flavors recalling brioche. Bright acidity and a fine fizz provide energy and finesse."

Stefania del Giudice — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 10:24:53 +0000

In the early morning of Thursday, March 13th into Friday, March 14th, it will occur a total lunar eclipse.

Tasting Notes:

Pale powder pink, with a very fine and persistent perlage
White floral scents, hawthorn, red apple skin, wild strawberry, with aromas of raspberry and vanilla
strong acidity and fresh finish, persistent and delicate with a fruity note. Dry, sharp and clean

Metodo Ancestrale Primo

Vino Bianco Frizzante Metodo Ancestrale Primo

Moreover we are proud to inform you that Masseria Cuturi and Palazzone received a Snail too.

Masseria Cuturi: we are talking about a family, originally from Veneto managing this beautiful estate in Puglia which includes a skilfully renovated farmhouse and many hectares of land. Among the woods, olive trees and vineyards. The Rossi-Chauvenets acquire a reality full of history. The farm, located in Manduria, was founded in 1881 and for centuries belonged to the Schiavoni family.

The current vineyard is about 40 hectares and is particularly fertile thanks to the organic substance contained in the soils and the water of the Chidro River that flows there.

Monte Diavoli Is a rocky formation that stands isolated in the middle of a vast flat area dominated by the Mediterranean Macchia. In the past it was the place where the Messapi kept the sacred fire of the rites of fertility. Today as then it is a mysterious and fascinating place.

In 1969 the Dubini family bought the property “Palazzone”, constructed by Cardinal Teodorico at the bidding of Pope Boniface VIII as a hostel for pilgrims on their way to Rome to celebrate the Jubilee of 1300 A.D.

The nature of the rocks of this area is made up of clays, silts and sands; 2.5 million years ago there was a seabed which have accumulated the finer sediments transported by ancient rivers that crossed what were then the few areas emerged.
24 hectares of vineyards planted on the hillside close to Orvieto, between 210 and 340 mts a.s.l. cultivated with the traditional grapes of Orvieto such as Procanico and Grechetto primarily, but also Verdello and Malvasia grapes.

But also international varieties: Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon for Muffa Nobilis and Viognier among the first to cultivate it in Italy.

THE WINERY

Cantina Paltrinieri is a winery located in the heart of Sorbara (Emilia- Romagna) where the family has lived for four generations producing Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC.

The owners Alberto and his wife Barbara belong to a handful of producers who are purely focused on quality.

They have 17 hectares of vineyard in the heart of the most prestigious provenance “Lambrusco di Sorbara”. Alberto first of all limits the yields in the vineyard.

A lower yield gives grapes with more concentration. In addition, he prefers to use only the blue grape variety ‘Lambrusco di Sorbara’.
