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
Lambrusco Pjcol Ross from Rinaldini is a sparkling wine that expresses great substance and elegance. Pjcol Ross comes from an ancient vine native to the Val d'Enza, abandoned in modern times due to very low productivity. It was rediscovered by Rinaldo and planted on an open foot over forty years ago. The Rinaldini family has had the tenacity to make it known to a vast public, bringing it to the best tables all over the world.
