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.

2 SOULS, 1 COMPANY

Early in the Sixties Mr. Pierino began producing his own wine starting off a quality trend that remains a key feature of our company nowadays. Pierino’s son and daughter, Claudio and Mariagrazia, are now managing the company in their father’s footsteps.

The Winery is located in Castiglione Tinella, within the Province of Cuneo, between the Lower Langa and the Monferrato Regions. Rolling hills almost completely covered in vineyards are visible as far as the eye can see and make Castiglione Tinella one of the liveliest towns in Italy. The cliffs running down towards the valleys Tinella and Belbo frame the vineyards and the wood patches, creating a unique landscape.

The extension of the vineyards allows our company’s production to cover all types of wines available in the South of Piedmont. Icardi’s style is renowned around the world for its significantly fruity, refined, clean and elegant wines. The balanced flavour of both regular and “more important” wines can be appreciated immediately after production.

Kerin O’Keefe’s 2025 Top 100

Kerin O’Keefe’s 2025 Top 100: nice awards for MassolinoPaltrinieri 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

Barolo-Vigna-Rionda-Massolino-Vino-Thumb-2025.png
"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."
