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.

Cantina Paltrinieri Lambrusco di Sorbara’s stand out for their finesse and distinctive taste.

Tradition. Passion. Love for wine.

 

”The satisfaction and the passion for our work derive from the care taken to ensure that everything is done well.  We have on the horizon a promise within our hearts, which goes beyond ourselves, which defies time. 
Like a trough carved from stone” 

Barbara & Alberto Paltrinieri

“Nothing taken away, nothing added”

This is the motto of Cantina LaSelva, founded in 1980 by Karl Egger.
Through his vision and work in developing LaSelva, Egger became one of the pioneers of organic farming in Europe. Karl Egger left his homeland, Munich, and moved to the south of Tuscany where he bought 7 hectares of land. Here he began to grow fruit and vegetables following the simple rules of nature: a choice that led him ten years later to give birth to the organic farming association, Naturland.
In 1984 LaSelva became the first Naturland-certified business beyond German borders.

In Maremma

Cantina LaSelva is located in a unique place, nestled in the south of Tuscany and surrounded by untamed nature. The varied landscape ranges from the woods of a regional park to medieval villages, and then on to the sea. These are places where you can discover ancient traditions and enjoy true beauty in every season. Maremma is also the birthplace of Tuscan viticulture, with its origins dating back to the Etruscans and their sophisticated civilisation.

The microclimate of the Maremma hills has always brought out the best qualities of Sangiovese grapes, which are used to make wines like Morellino di Scansano – known and loved throughout the world. The combination of minerals, lime, marl and limestone – combined with the coastal influence of the Tyrrhenian Sea – form the basis for opulent, soft red wines and for savoury white wines with a strong personality.
