Description (Lambrusco)

In the works of classical writers such as Virgil and Cato reference is made to “Labrusca vitis”, a wild grave that produced sour fruit and grew on the edges of the countryside. Today, this centuries-old grave variety lives on in the Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro, a PDO-certified ruby red wine, which is noted for its intense violet hues and scents of ripe wild berries and which accompanies us throughout our meals with its persistent, fresh and enveloping body texture. We suggest you to complement it with traditional dishes to further appreciate the culinary tradition of the beautiful Emilian hilly landscapes, where this wine comes from. Combine it with cured meats as appetisers, then with first courses based on meat sauce and finally with dry pastries and jam tarts as desserts.rses with meat sauce, up to desserts of dry pastries and tarts.

Description (Pignoletto)

In Solignano, in the heart of the Castelvetro’s municipality, among the lands and vineyards handed down from Babbo Elio to his son Alberto, two hectares of land are entirely dedicated to the production of Pignoletto di Modena. This CDO-certified wine, which is the result of artisanal and sustainable procedures, has a straw yellow colour with greenish hues, a persistent perfume and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Thanks to its fruity fragrance, that whets the appetite, Babbo Elio’s Pignoletto di Modena CDO is the right choice for your aperitifs based on eggs, young cheeses and cold cuts. Versatile and fresh, it also perfectly matches vegetable risottos, seafood first courses and white meat or grilled fish second courses.

Design

The Last Maps artist duo returns to create the beautiful labels of the farm’s wines. The choice fell on two birds, both thriving in the Emilian territories and since the mid-1970s undisputed symbols of the Modenese nightlife: the red woodpecker (for Grasparossa) and the green woodpecker (for Pignoletto). They were depicted in a hyper-realistic manner, with a very thin and refined stroke known as “dot work”, while holding between their legs a grape, the precious element at the heart of our whole story.
