Paltrinieri is located in the heart of the Sorbara DOC by the historic Cru of Cristo di Sorbara. Since 1998, the estate has been run by the fourth generation Alberto Paltrinieri and his wife, Barbara, though the estate was founded in 1926 by Alberto’s grandfather, Achille. Historically the winery, as was the tradition, produced Lambruschi that were blends of grapes. Since Alberto Paltrinieri took the reins of the estate they began, more and more, to focus on mono-variety wines from the Lambrusco di Sorbara grape which was gaining more and more recognition for its elegance and complexity compare to the many other Lambrusco varieties. Currently they produce eight different bottlings – all made from 100% Lambrusco di Sorbara save the Solco which is 100% Salamino, a grape that producers a more fruit-forward style of Lambrusco with a darker color compared to the Sorbara.
The estate is made up of 17 hectares of vineyards. The Sorbara zone lies between the Panaro and Secchia rivers and the soil is mainly sandy and loose though towards the fringes of the zone there is more clay and there the wines tend to be deeper in color. Their Lambrusco di Sorbara bottlings tend to be dry with light color and crisp acidity.
