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.

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
