To contact the producer by e-mailThe domaine
The Farm Quarticello was founded in 2001 following the purchase of a vineyard in the area “Quarticello” Montecchio Emilia by the Maestri family. Roberto Maestri begins to deal personally from the early stages and was born in him a passion, so much so that the following year he decided to embark on the path for a degree in viticulture and enology. After acquiring the title of winemaker and have had different experiences in the cellar, since 2006 began making wine their grapes. The company is located in Val d’Enza Reggio Emilia on the bank of the river of the same name that divides the provinces of Reggio Emilia and Parma, at the foot of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. The production focuses on native vines such as Lambrusco Maestri, Lambrusco Salamino, Lambrusco Grasparossa, Malbo Gentile and Malvasia di Candia.The vines
The vineyards cover an area of 5 acres at the foot of the Appennino Reggiano on a sandy-clay soil of medium texture with the presence of gravel in shallow water.
The holding screw is adopted Guyot system allows us to achieve a good balance vegetative-productive.
The vineyard management is undertaken in full respect of the area trying to use only copper and sulfur in the defense of lives, and using, for fertilization, only natural organic matter.
The limited production and rational management of green grapes help achieve excellent condition for giving life to the high quality wines that not only covers aspects of taste, but also objective authenticity and naturalness.
Winemaking
The grapes are vinified in both sparkling natural fermentation in the bottle as usual, and as a retainer for aging red grapes malbo gentle, and sweet Malvasia grapes.
In the cellar, the goal is to minimize the use of sulfur dioxide and all actions that can somehow change the expression of the characteristics of native varieties bred in the heart of the territories of origin.
