Cellar
The Rinaldini farm was founded in the late 1960s by Rinaldo Rinaldini, who at that time ran a renowned restaurant with his family, where wines and cured meats were handcrafted and the most authentic dishes of Emilian cuisine were served. The estate is located halfway between Reggio Emilia and Parma, at the foot of the Matildiche hills. Love for the land, admiration and knowledge of the 'champenois' rites grew with time and it was this that led the Rinaldini family to become wine growers. Thanks to technique and curiosity, the winery decided to save ancient vines that were otherwise condemned to extinction. In just a few years, it has thus been demonstrated how true miracles can be born from soils and vines mistreated by producers and forgotten by the masters of oenological culture. Even today, the business has maintained its family character. In fact, it is Paola Rinaldini, her husband Marco Melegari and their son Luca who manage the entire transformation cycle, from grape to bottle; the latter is also responsible for looking after the vineyards. The winery has been converted from an old farmhouse dating back to 1884 that stands in the middle of the vineyards.
Description
Moro del Moro Lambrusco di Rinaldini is an elegant and balanced red wine that invites slow and meditative drinking. "The transgression of going against the current and the love for 'Amarone' that the RINALDINI family has, lead to the design of this great wine. The best bunches of Lambrusco vines are selected one by one and gently placed on racks for a long withering process in the fruttaio. The long and rigorous fermentation in the winter months. Then the wine is welcomed from the French oak barrels, in the silent, dark barrique cellar, lovingly cared for for three years.
Organoleptic characteristics:
The bouquet is deep, ethereal, with nuances of ripe red berry fruit, with hints of spices in a harmonious seduction. On the palate, it is warm, the fruity brushstrokes are rediscovered, combined with velvety but thick tannins, presenting an incredible and elegant balance that invites slow, meditative drinking.
Storage time:
10-15 years
Vinification
In the winter months, crushing takes place, followed by submerged cap fermentation with long skin contact.
