Cantina Puianello

It all began in 1938, when five men founded Cantina Puianello in the homonymous village. To the starting project and its pioneering spirit will join new families, inspiring values that later will be shared by next generations.

Indeed, to best showcase the flavours of this unique region that spans from Scandiano to Canossa, the wines produced there only use grapes from the members of Cantina Puianello. This is but one of the many ways in which the vineyard combines profound respect for nature with new technologies, in order to ensure the quality and uniqueness of its wines.

Sheltered by the Apennine Reggiano Hills, this rolling, humid region—with its sudden fogs and distinctive temperature excursions—offers an ideal growing environment for such celebrated wines as the Lambrusco, Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Spergola and Marzemino, which thrive in the area’s typical calcareous clay soils. In addition to its vertical trellis system, vegetation containment and traditional Guyot pruning method, the vines of Cantina Puianello benefit from the extensive expertise of the company’s wine-growers, all natives of the area between Scandiano and Canossa, a land that once belonged to the “Queen of Italy” Matilde di Canossa in the 11^th and 12^th centuries.
