The Rinaldini farm was founded in the late 1960s by Rinaldo Rinaldini, who at the time ran a renowned restaurant with his family, where wines and cured meats were handcrafted and the most authentic dishes of Emilian cuisine were served. The estate is located halfway between Reggio Emilia and Parma, at the foot of the Matildiche hills. Love for the land, admiration and knowledge of the 'champenois' rites grew with time and it was this that led the Rinaldini family to become wine growers. Thanks to technique and curiosity, the company decided to save ancient vines that were otherwise condemned to extinction. In just a few years, it was thus demonstrated how true miracles can be born from soils and vines mistreated by producers and forgotten by the masters of oenological culture. Even today, the business has maintained its family character. In fact, it is Paola Rinaldini, her husband Marco Melegari and their son Luca who manage the entire transformation cycle, from grape to bottle; the latter is also responsible for looking after the vineyards. The winery has been converted from an old farmhouse dating back to 1884 that stands in the middle of the vineyards.
