Ventiventi: a new interpretation of Modena viticulture

Ventiventi, the organic winery in Modena

The young age of this Modena winery already shines through from the name: Ventiventi was born almost three years ago from the dream of entrepreneur Vittorio Razzaboni and his sons Riccardo, Andrea and Tommaso. A new reality, therefore, but with clear ideas, a trait d'union between tradition and innovation, technology and eco-conscious soul. Completely organic and eco-sustainable, Ventiventi looks at the important production history of the area to reinterpret it through a new gaze that goes from the Blanc de Blancs Classic Method to the ancestral method with the Happy Selvaggio Lambrusco dell'Emilia Igt; from Lambrusco Salamino to rosé and white Emilia Igt. Hence the decision to bring value to the native grapes: sorbara, salamino di Santa Croce, pignoletto; but also international grape varieties such as pinot blanc, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. In total, the Ventiventi vineyards extend for 45 hectares in Medolla, in the heart of Emilia-Romagna.

«We are a fundamental part of the wine we produce - explains the Razzaboni family - We have created the cellar exactly in the centre of our plots to feel enveloped by the land and its fruits.» Their welcoming spirit is all contained here, in the 900 square metre structure, surrounded by vineyards. «We have always had the idea of opening our gates, to offer a different and immersive experience. We are a very young winery, the world of wine is so vast and we wanted to take our space, creating a tasting area to convey and make our reality and our wines known, welcoming customers in a relaxing and pleasant setting between the greenery and the tranquillity of nature. We want to create a new wine culture, give the opportunity to make both our products and all the others in the area known. And we are strongly convinced that it is our wines that have to speak for us.» A whole series of projects, including educational, are born from this certainty, including the partnership with Astronave Lab kids, which last September involved young people with disabilities in the various stages of the winery's harvest. Finally, there are many and varied tasting itineraries for enthusiasts. As a matter of fact, the Razzaboni family never misses an opportunity to share the aromas of its labels by organising events such as picnics in the vineyard, guided tours and special tastings. The scented notes, coming from eight different grape varieties, combine ancient and modern, nature and technology thanks to the work of a close-knit, young and constantly growing team.

Lambrusco di Modena

Brut Rosé M. Cl. Ventiventi

Onion skin colour, produced 100% with Lambrusco di Sorbara, this Classic Method Rosé represents the spearhead of the Ventiventi winery. It is characterised by incisive minerality balanced by soft creaminess and richness of refined varietal aromas. Aromas of berries, floral notes and hints of barley, given by the prolonged ageing on the lees. A sparkling wine that encapsulates a territory and a philosophy and which, thanks to the high clay content present in the soils (about 45%), is characterised by marked minerality and freshness, balanced by a good body and a good structure. Ideal to serve with delicate dishes and seafood, especially raw.
