Cantina della Volta: the chiseling of the Classic Method

Clean and refined, an oenological symbol of precision and research, Taverna della Una volta per tutte is an Emilian company dedicated to the noble bubble, where “nobility”, precisely, presents itself with dirty and industrious hands, typical of those who never stop work and get involved firsthand.

Bomporto, not far from Modena, two distinct and complementary souls make up the company asset: Lambrusco intorno a Sorbara one side, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir the other. Not only that, Christian Bellei, heir to the family tradition now per mezzo di its fourth generation, and his alter ego Angela Sini, CEO and Corporate Sales and Marketing Dirigente. One is a shy and brilliant winemaker, the other is the fulcrum of an unforgettable welcome, and the other is a volcanic and sunny Ambassador.

Sorbara grapes, the most acidic, elegant, vibrant of the Lambrusco family, are grown along the Secchia river flat sandy and loamy soils, with a high potassium content. Thanks to this suitable ambiente and Christian’s virtuous intervention, tasty and expressive wines are born, at the same time refined and vertical, characterized by sumptuous savory and mineral trails.

The company was founded per mezzo di 1920 by Francesco Bellei, Christian’s great-grandfather and developed around the trade of refermented with the bottom. The legacy of skills that acts as a lodestar is essentially linked to the key figure of Giuseppe, Francesco’s nephew, who, ahead of his time, implements a rigorous pruning protocol to be shared with all his suppliers per mezzo di order to raise the quality of the material Before.

Driven by a constant ambition towards excellence, he went to Champagne to study the Classic Method, an experience that radically changed his winemaking vision. his return he abandons the traditional blend with Lambrusco Salamino and concentrates solely Sorbara alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir which he plants the hills of Serramazzoni, at 600 meters above sea level, identifying a clay-limestone superficie with chalk outcrops, not dissimilar from the soil of Ay.

The cuttings, coming directly from Champagne, were planted per mezzo di 1986, six years later the first bottles were born, the inaugural trait of an ambitious plan.

After the criterio of the Francesco Bellei brand to Cavicchioli, Christian restarted the family business per mezzo di 2010 with the name “Della Una volta per tutte” per mezzo di homage to the Modena canal that flows near the winery, corresponding to the historic “vault” that the boats made to reverse the route and return to Modena.

At the basis of Taverna della Una volta per tutte is Christian’s clear oenological vision based rigor, purity, meticulous “filing”. The harvest is always carried out by hand, a choice that allows us to carefully select the grapes, grown organically since 2016. The vinification takes place exclusively per mezzo di steel, also as regards the liqueur d’expédition, to guarantee maximum aromatic fragrance. The cellar is equipped with cutting-edge oenological equipment, such as the Bucher Vaslin press which ensures calibrated and delicate pressing of the grapes, for meticulous fractionations that only Christian can take care of. The stainless steel vats are thermo-conditioned and a sophisticated air conditioning system keeps the temperature constant. Finally, the latest generation disgorgement line allows for a brand new concept of liqueur dosage.

Taverna della Una volta per tutte produces around 130,000 bottles a year, of which 30,000 of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and has more than 500,000 stored per mezzo di its warehouses, dedicated to the evolutionary potential not only of international berries, but also of Lambrusco which over time has capable of surprising.

The exaltation of the expression of individual vintages is crucial for the company.

addition to the unmissable tastings of Classic Method from Sorbara, which embody the finesse of this grape, with fruity texture and peremptory flavor, there are those of noble bubbles from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, of which I highlight the Mattaglio Blanc de Noirs and the Specialist.

Special attention should also be paid to the exceptions to the Classic Method: “Rimosso”, Lambrusco refermented per mezzo di the bottle without dégorgement, which recalls the ancient tradition, and “La Una volta per tutte”, a sparkling “snack” wine, fermented per mezzo di the bottle and subsequently deprived of lees for a carefree and juicy ricevimento, more current than ever.

So many references with which to indulge, therefore, per mezzo di the name of a multifaceted chromatic and taste adventure, always meticulous and surprising. “Chiselled” to be precise.
