- Company details
The "Barbaterre" winery, founded in 2002, organic since its origin, boasts a production of ICEA certified wines, coming exclusively from grapes grown in vineyards which are also naturally certified organic. The cellar has a cozy tasting room, where you can taste the wines and an adjoining restaurant.
The area of the first hills of Reggio, rediscovered by the founder of the company, is particularly suited to the cultivation of vines thanks to its exposure facing completely south and its loamy, medium clayey soils, minerals with chalky veins and good fertility.
The conformation of the territory, rich in gullies that originate small valleys, creates a microclimate and constant natural ventilation throughout the year, essential for the health and quality of the grapes.
The first vineyards were planted in 2000 and the last in 2006 and are all oriented possibly following the line of maximum slope of the land.
The south-facing vines with a good density of vines per hectare with short pruning, aimed at finding a balance between vegetation and fruit, irrigated only by rain, are treated naturally following the procedures of organic cultivation.
The vinification is mainly in purity, without cuts except Lambrusco. The technique is aimed at enhancing the organoleptic qualities of wines using only controlled temperatures and long maceration times as tools.
The wine is bottled in the spring following the harvest after adequate maturation and slow sedimentation; Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon are aged for at least 18 months in a large vat and in national oak barrels.
According to the result to be obtained, steel tanks are used for the vinification, except for the subsequent passage of the above-mentioned red wines, in oak barrels and vats, of various capacities or in bottles for refermentations and classic methods. specifically designed for the final product.
The production of wines includes three types: classic methods, refermented in the bottle and still reds.
The predominantly grown Pinot Noir is transformed into Blanc de noirs, Marandalè and Rosè, classic methods with aging on the lees for over 36 months and a still, red aged in large wood for at least 18 months. Then follow Sauvignon blanc, Marzemino, Lambrusco, Cabernet Sauvignon and other minor vines.
With Sauvignon we produce a Blanc de blancs and a refermented bottle.
The marzemino gives us a sparkling rosé refermented in the bottle while the Cabernet Sauvignon follows an aging similar to that adopted with the pinot noir.
All the wines follow a slow transformation process, accompanied by a careful but discreet activity of the man who follows them and supports them according to the character that manifests itself differently from the previous ones at each harvest.

Arsan
Reggio Emilia down to its soul.
We think this is the best way to describe this wine, which already underlines its roots in its name. Arsàn means “Reggio Emilia” in the local dialect, genuine and straightforward just like the flavour of this lambrusco.
Created by the right combination of grasparossa, salamino and malbo gentile grapes, this wine brings back the authentic character of lambrusco re-fermented in the bottle using a method from Emilian wine-making tradition.
It is Barbaterre’s vision of lambrusco made on the hillside.

Paledor
Palê d’Or is a wine that combines bottle re-fermentation with traits of sauvignon blanc to produce a refreshing, meticulous wine with a carefree, easy drinking nature but which does not compromise on complexity and character.
It has the typical nature of Barbaterre wines: bursting with their own non-conforming identity and a clear expressive pureness. This wine has the freshness of citrus fruits, while keeping a fruity, floral elegance.
It is a cheerful, lively wine that is perfect for satisfying more discerning palates but also for anyone who is looking for a charming, instantly appreciable glass of wine.

Peder
Pinot nero has always been at home here at Barbaterre, Péder, the “Father”, has character and does not seek to imitate prestigious versions from more well-known regions or adapt to interpretations of others. Péder creates a wine that retains the features of pinot nero, combining them with the characteristics of the region. Great finesse and a measured flavour, all influenced by the region where it is grown.
Péder faithfully expresses this grape variety which finds an original, inspired home on the Reggio Emilia hillside. Here, the Barbaterre vineyards are characterised by
a unique microclimate and base their roots in clayey limestone soil, typically found in the Terre Matildiche.

Blanc de blancs
A traditional method sauvignon in itself might seem like a strange wine and making one on the Reggio Emilia hillside risks seeming eccentric.
But the altitude of the vineyards, relevant temperature range and appropriate soils make this idea not as mad as you might think.
Only made during favourable years, this Blanc de Blancs is a wine of subtle finesse and a complex character, a vintage refined on its lees for at least 36 months.
It is a traditional method wine with a dynamic yet original twist, featuring lively acidity, a balanced flavour and an unexpected potential to get better with age.

Blanc de noirs
Pinot nero is the most common grape variety at Barbaterre. It was therefore only natural to create a traditional method version entirely made from these noble grapes. This wine is created by selecting the best grapes collected in the vineyards halfway up the hillside, where moderate yields and hard work in the vineyard are the keys to success.
It is a traditional method vintage that spends at least 36 months on the lees and embodies the perfect combination between finesse and culinary versatility. Our Blanc de Noirs is a lively sparkling wine with a fine, intense bead and a tangy salinity enhanced by the special composition of the soils on the Terre Matildiche hillside.
