Il Farneto | "Rio Rocca New Player in Town" | Trebbiano Pet-Nat | Emilia-Romagna | 2021
Il Farneto is a small biodynamic estate nestled in the hills of Emilia-Romagna-- Italy's gastronomy capital responsible for sharing Prosciutto di Parma, Balsamico di Modena, Mortadella, Bolognese, and more gluttonous perfection with the rest of the world.
The wines, most famously Lambrusco, are meant to wash down mountains of formaggi e salumi.
Il Farneto farms 8 hectares of local indigenous varieties, Spergola (white) and Marzemino (red). They also work with other regional grapes like Lambrusco and Trebbiano.
Flavio Restani employs ancient techniques, prioritizing the long-term health of the soils, tending to the farm by hand and intuition.
