Cantina sociale Puianello

Founded in 1938 by five men in Quattro Castella, Cantina Sociale Puianello operates where the calcareous and clayey soils of the Reggio Emilia area slope down towards Canossa, the chosen land of `Lambrusco`. The cooperative's statute still mandates that only members' grapes be processed: a bond that unites the community of suppliers and the most rigorous winemaking methods. Alongside its `Lambrusco` wines, `Malvasia`, and `Spergola`, the winery safeguards its rarest product. This is the `Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Reggio Emilia DOP`, the house's only protected denomination: aged for a minimum of twelve years, dense and concentrated, the fruit of a patience that no technique can shorten. Around this nectar, the cooperative's deepest identity is built, where time becomes discipline. The winery is open for visits and tastings, and it's truly worth booking here: tasting the aged balsamic on-site is the best way to understand why twelve years are just the starting point.
