Sorbara

Paltrinieri

Sorbara – Located in the heart of Sorbara, Cantina Paltrinieri is a family run winery which has been producing Lambrusco di Sorbara for three generations. Started by Achille, Sorbara’s pharmacist at that time. In the 1920s he decided to build what was the first part of the cellar, then extended by his son Gianfranco and run today by grandson Alberto. The winery is a contrast between old traditions and modern production techniques. Production closely follows Sorbara’s wine tradition with respect for environmental conservation and consumers health, in other words, wine made correctly and healthily. The production is followed with minimum intervention and a natural approach in the vineyard and cellar.

Lambrusco di Sorbara – Microscopic production, due to a flowering anomaly, that can give rise to a considerable loss of fruit. But what is lacking in quantity is more than made up for in quality. Sorbara’s peculiarity is the very little amount of pigments, reason for a distinctive pinkish – cranberry colour.
