What an absolute pleasure to visit Cantina Paltrinieri. Our tour guide, Valentina, was very knowledgable about wine and the vineyard, as well as balsamic vinegar. She was also extremely friendly and very welcoming. We really enjoyed learning about the different kinds of grapes and sparkling wines, and Alberto and Barbara’s passion to create and share their wines with the world was incredible to see. If you visit, I would most definitely recommend the Super Tour and Tasting, as this was definitely worth it. We had a private tour (just me and a friend), and it was great to have such a personalized experience. I’ve never tried so many shades of sparkling wine that I loved so much. When leaving, be sure to ask the staff for lunch and dinner recommendations - they really had great ideas, and Alberto even made lunch reservations for us, and arranged dinner plans! If I’m ever back in Modena, I’ll definitely stop by this vineyard again! Thank you to the wonderful team for such a warm and...
Read moreMy family had a fantastic time, we chose the Super Tour. It was the perfect stop on our day trip through Modena. Cecilia was super kind and informative, we got to ask lots of questions while she walked us through their process for making each of their wines. We enjoyed seeing the winery and equipment for fermenting and bottling the wines, plus we got to take a peek in the acetaia. The best part was, of course, the wine tasting. They were all absolutely delicious with distinct flavors. Cecilia guided us through and chatted with us, we also got to try some of their amazing balsamic vinegar. We had plenty of time to savor each one, our favorites were Leclisse, Piria, and Solco. We took home four bottles of wine and a couple balsamic vinegars to remember the great trip. I’m so glad we found Cantina Paltrinieri! Highly...
Read moreWe visited Cantina Paltrinieri on our recent trip to Modena. It was a great experience, with Cecilia guiding us through the production of their wines and the family's history of wine making. She was an informative and engaging guide and we were very appreciative of the fact that her English is perfect, as we sadly have very little knowledge of Italian. Along with Cecilia, the star of the visit were the wines, and we certainly have a very different idea and appreciation of Lambrusco!! Some of our favorites that we tasted during our trip! Our tasting was accompanied by local products such as salami, prosciutto etc. and the wines paired perfectly. Definitely a place we hope to return to on our next trip to the area. Thanks to the Paltrinieri family for a...
