CANTINA SOCIALE ROLO

Consorzio Marchio Storico Dei Lambruschi Modenesi

The story of Lambrusco comes from far away and includes the charm of the first tales of the poets and writers of the classical period (Virgil, Cato, Varro) who in their works tell of a "Labrusca vitis", or a wild vine, which produced fruit of harsh flavor and that used to grow on the edge of the countryside. Lambrusco, a wine that can be bubbly or sparkling wine, of brilliant ruby ​​red color, was born in Modena and from there spread on the domestic and foreign markets.



Lambrusco let itself be led by its instincts, when with feline movements expresses its vitality when it is poured into the cup: from the evanescent froth a multitude of emotions are given off, in which you recognize the majestic beauty of nature.



Modena goes hand in hand with Lambrusco, certainly they go very well together: in the transparent exuberance of Lambrusco you find the symbolism of the territory that, starting from the simple style of the Romanesque churches, goes through the succulence of food to get to the glamor of elegant sports cars.



Several are the elements from which you capture the importance that viniculture has in Modena, the 8,000 hectares of vineyards, the oldest wine–growing company of the Emilia Romagna region, the presence of Italy’s oldest winery in business, three wineries who celebrated the centenary of their foundation, but especially the fact that viticulture in Modena means Lambrusco PDO, to say, Protected Designation of Origin wines.



In Modena are produced: Lambrusco di Sorbara, Lambrusco Salamino of Santa Croce, Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro, Lambrusco di Modena, and you can safely say that Modena is the territory of Lambrusco PDO.

Its role is expressed mainly in two directions: on the one hand, with the authorization of February 1992 by the Ministry of Agriculture (now Ministry of Agricultural Policies), it protects, controls and supervises the production; on the other hand, it promotes and carries out promotional activities by taking actions to raise awareness and to disseminate the Colli Piacentini D.O.C. Wines.


The Consortium carries out annual audits in associated companies, oversees the designation, the quality of the products, the use of trademarks and the respect of the agreements of self–discipline established by the Board of Directors and approved by the Shareholders’s Assembly.


It implements by virtue of a special agreement with the Chamber the activity of sampling of wines suitable for making D.O.C. wines, using chemical analysis of these wines from a laboratory approved by the Ministry and accredited SINAL, also in this case by special agreement; it carries out activities for advice on the application of the requirements laid down by the Community and national laws and, in addition, informs the members through the "Terra dei Vini" house organ. The final test, of course, is that of the retail market. The Consortium, therefore, can perform all over Italy any kind of assessment, inspection and supervision of the Colli Piacentini D.O.C. at all levels of the production chain, in full cooperation with the local offices of the Fraud Repression and N.A.S.


Currently engaged in the pursuit of better classification of the Colli Piacentini D.O.C. wines, from 1993 to 1995 the Consortium has produced important research on management, organization and prospects of the Colli Piacentini D.O.C. – which rose from just 3 D.O.C. wines in the 70s (Gutturnio, Trebbianino and Monterosso), to the 11 of the 80s (Gutturnio, Barbera, Bonarda, Trebbianino Val Trebbia, Sauvignon, Valnure, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Nero, Ortrugo, Monterosso Val d’Arda, Malvasia), to the current 18 (in addition to the above mentioned: Novello, Cabernet Sauvignon, Vin Santo, Vin Santo di Vigoleno, Chardonnay, Pinot sparkling white or rosé, and the various types of Gutturnio reserve, classic, superior) – revealing at the same time to be very useful to define the winegrowing vocation of certain sub areas suitable for the production of DOC wines and their organoleptic and physico–chemical differences.

Consorzio Vini di Romagna

The Romagna Wines Consortium was founded in Faenza in 1962 when the most aggressive defenders of Romagna wines sat around a table and outlined the structure and tasks of a Consortium for the defense of typical wines; an organization that was formed in the October of that year to take on legally after a few weeks later the name of "Ente Tutela Vini di Romagna".



Confirming the contradictions and originality typical of the thought and character of Romagna’s people, the image of the "Passatore", a bandit and adventurer who in the mid nineteenth century run around the lands of Romagna was chosen as mark, and still today distinguishes the bottles of the wine Companies associated with the Consortium.

And the quality of the wines, the balance of pricing, the promotion of the product and the territory are the most important objectives for the Board of Directors of the Consortium, supported in these activities by a technical committee and a Commission of enhancement and promotion.

Fattoria Monticino Rosso

The history of the Farm began with the purchase of the first group, the Olmo estate, to which a second, bigger one was added twenty years later. Monticino Rosso is a place already surveyed in the Napoleonic era, as a property of the noble Codronchi Torelli family of Imola. To it, which has contributed historically to preserve the nature and tradition of these places, Codronchio is symbolically dedicated, one of the best labels of production, together with the valuable raisin wine from Malvasia grapes, son of a very severe selection in the vineyard.
