Podere Il Saliceto

Podere il Saliceto was founded in 2004 from the desire of Gian Paolo and Marcello, who after study and diverse work experience in the sector decide to start this project. The two different varieties of Lambrusco Who are grown are Lambrusco di Sorbara an Lambrusco Salamino. We also valorise minor autochthonous varieties such as Trebbiano Modenese and Malbo Gentile in order to sustain a territory in its typicality.
Artisanal management allows us to control personally all the production steps from pruning to green and the harvest which is done exclusively by hand into small containers, preserving the integrity of the grapes.

Emilia-Romagna

On the northern peninsula of Italy lies Emilia-Romagna, a sprawling area that, as the name suggests, was once two distinct regions. Within the region are distinctly different climates and soils, from Emilia’s rolling hills in the west, influenced by the Apennines, to Romagna’s plains to the east of Modena and Bologna. Viticulture began here in the 7th century, when vines were introduced by the Etruscan people. It is difficult to characterise the wines of this region, except to say that the region is unique in its sheer diversity. Emilia’s best-known wine is Lambrusco, the much-misunderstood delicate bubbly red whose best examples are seldom found abroad. In its native region it is enjoyed as a dry wine that is exceptional with local cuisine. There are three DOC zones for Lambrusco - Lambrusco di Sorbara, Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro and Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce - as well as a Lambrusco subappellation under the Reggiano DOC
