The vineyard of Podere il Saliceto covers 4.5 hectares and sees the cultivation of native varieties with the aim of in its uniqueness: mainly Lambrusco di Sorbara and Lambrusco Salamino, but also Trebbiano Modenese and Malbo Gentile. The vines are trained using guyot or spurred cordon and are divided into two plots: one located in Saliceto Buzzalino, where the soils are predominantly sandy, and the other in Albone, where the soils are more compact and rich in clay.
All vineyard activities are carried out manually and the winemaking phases are personally overseen by Gian Paolo and Marcello. The focus is on low yields and high planting density, in order to ensure excellent quality grapes. The production philosophy aims to obtain a genuine wine that respects tradition.
