High in the hills of Emilia-Romagna, Marco Bertoni starts "Il Farneto" in the 90's. His goal: to bring back natural agriculture to this area, and it is needed! The area is best known for Lambrusco, a local grape with a lot of history, but Lambrusco has gotten a bad name over the years. The grape became very popular in the 1970s and 1980s because of the sweet, red sparkling wine made from it. It was produced in bulk to meet the high demand and horribly bad wines were made. But what few people know is that Emilia-Romagna actually has a very rich artisanal and culinary history. For example, Parmigiano Reggiano, Coppa di Parma, Aceto balsamico, Culatello salami all come from this area and the local cuisine is really awesome. Fortunately, there are more and more new winemakers coming in who want to restore the craftsmanship in this area. Therefore, this is definitely a place to keep an eye on in the near future!
This unique white wine from Emilia-Romagna from the local Spergola grape. A species that is almost extinct, but fortunately still kept alive by a few winemakers. The wine has had short skin contact, is golden yellow in colour, juicy, pure and secretly very serious! Delicious with drinks, dinner or just as is.
