March 13, 2025 — Ventiventi is a young winery with deep roots in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, driven by the vision of the Razzaboni family and the energy of the three brothers leading the company: Riccardo, Andrea, and Tommaso.
Since 2020, the year that gives the winery its name, every decision has reflected their shared passion and the desire to create wines that embody not only oenological excellence but also a genuine commitment to the land.
For Ventiventi, sustainability is not a sterile marketing strategy but a daily promise—a pact with the land and those who cultivate it, reflecting the personal commitment of each family member. As Andrea Razzaboni, the winery’s oenologist, emphasizes, “We don’t produce sustainable wines because the market demands it, but because it’s who we are.”
Organic farming, adopted from the very first vineyard planting in 2016, is at the heart of this philosophy. Every vine is grown without synthetic chemicals, respecting natural cycles and preserving biodiversity. The awareness that respecting nature is the first step toward creating authentic wines guides every production choice.
Ventiventi’s commitment to sustainability goes far beyond the vineyards. Since 2019, the winery has progressively expanded its photovoltaic system, increasing its capacity from an initial 29 kW to nearly 100 kW, bringing it closer to energy self-sufficiency while significantly reducing CO₂ emissions.
At the same time, Ventiventi has adopted an innovative drip irrigation system developed in collaboration with Irritec—a global leader in precision irrigation—which optimizes water use, minimizes waste, and ensures the utmost respect for this precious resource. Every drop becomes a symbol of a production philosophy that allows no compromises.
Over the years, the winery has invested in a new disgorging line and a filling machine, achieving complete self-sufficiency in both bottling and tirage processes. This approach not only reduces transportation needs but also ensures total control over quality. Additionally, the production facilities have been expanded with new storage cells and an area dedicated to tonneaux, used for preparing liqueur wines and aging reserves. This choice confirms a strategic long-term vision that combines innovation and tradition.
For Ventiventi, sustainability is a concept that evolves alongside the winery. Every choice, from cultivation to winemaking, is designed to build an agricultural and production model that looks to the future without forgetting its roots. “For us,” Andrea continues, “innovation means finding a balance between modernity and respect for nature. At Ventiventi, technological progress is never an end in itself but a tool to ensure quality while fully respecting the land, the vines, and the environment. Thanks to technology, we can significantly reduce the use of copper and sulfur, relying not on chemicals but on nature’s own regenerative power.”
A concrete example of this approach is their new grape harvester, which allows them to bring grapes to the winery quickly and at perfect ripeness. This enables winemaking with minimal sulfite use, preserving the wine’s true identity. For Ventiventi, modernity is never at odds with tradition; instead, it enhances it—guided by precision, order, and an unwavering dedication to environmental respect.
About Ventiventi
It all began in 2014 with the acquisition of land, laying the foundation for a dream rooted in the Emilia-Romagna region. In Medolla (MO), Ventiventi now spans 70 hectares, including 30 hectares of vineyards, along with its winery. The choice of land was no coincidence—the alluvial soil, composed of 45% clay, 47% silt, and 8% sand, provides an ideal habitat for the vine.
With the first vineyard planted in 2016, the roots were not only those of the vines but also those of a family committed to caring for every row and every branch, understanding that patience is the first ingredient of success. The inaugural harvest in 2018 was the result of years of hard work and anticipation, but it was only the beginning. The true turning point came in 2020—the year that, not by chance, gives the winery its name. With the official launch of its first wines, Ventiventi entered the market, determined to carve out a place in a competitive and ever-evolving industry.
The choice of the Metodo Classico, a strong commitment to sustainability, and an obsessive focus on quality proved to be key differentiators. While the winery champions local grape varieties such as Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce, Sorbara, Ancellotta, and Pignoletto, it also cultivates international varieties like Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Traminer. Today, Ventiventi produces over 66,000 bottles across Metodo Classico, Charmat, and still wines.
“Our project stands out because it represents the synthesis of three different visions and approaches. Working as brothers isn’t always easy, but it’s in this complexity that we find our strength,” say the Razzaboni brothers—Andrea, Riccardo, and Tommaso. Their enthusiasm for the challenge is reflected in the winery’s entire philosophy, where a young, dynamic, and family-driven approach translates into unique market offerings.
In November 2023, Ventiventi joined FIVI – the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers—a decision that reinforces the winery’s identity and certifies its authentic and transparent approach.
