About Ventiventi
The story begins in 2014 with the acquisition of land intended to root a dream in the soil of Emilia. In Medolla (Modena), this site now hosts Ventiventi’s 70‑hectare estate, including 30 hectares of vineyards and the winery itself. The choice of land was deliberate: its alluvial composition, 45% clay, 47% silt and 8% sand, provides an ideal environment for the vine. With the first plantings in 2016, the roots put down were not only those of the vines, but also those of a family committed to tending every row and every shoot, aware that patience is the first ingredient of success.
The inaugural 2018 harvest marked the result of years of work and waiting, yet it was only the beginning. The true turning point came in 2020, the year that lends its name to the winery. With the official release of its first wines, Ventiventi entered the market and began carving out a place within an increasingly competitive and fast‑moving sector. The decision to focus on Metodo Classico, together with a commitment to sustainability and meticulous attention to quality, became key elements of its identity. Alongside the promotion of local varieties such as Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce, Sorbara, Ancellotta and Pignoletto, the estate also grows international grapes including Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Traminer.
Today, Ventiventi produces over 66,000 bottles across Metodo Classico, Charmat and still wines. Since November 2023, the winery has been a member of FIVI, the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers, a choice that reinforces its identity and certifies its authentic, transparent approach.
