The berry is not uniformly big and spheroidal, with a thin, bloomed, blue-colored skin, the flesh is juicy. Its production is rich and constant and its grapes ripen in early October, after having stored the summer and autumn sunlight.

It originates from the lands in Carpi (in the province of Modena) and nearby land of the southern area belonging to the Modena province . Lambrusco di Santa Croce owes its name to the village with the same name, Santa Croce, in the town of Carpi. From here this vine spread throughout the province of Modena and neighboring lands.

It is made ​​from the vine with the same name. The bunch is loose, cone-shaped, the berries are spherical and depending on the vintage they can be more or less like shot berries. This is due to a floral anomaly which brings to a significant loss of product and the cause is a pollen sterility. Some years even reported productive loss that exceeded two-thirds of the yields. But this is also a peculiar feature of this grape which becomes unique, easy to remember and considerably prized. The yields are reduced but the flavors are much more concentrated. The production is always very short and in some years, even insufficient, but if it lacks in quantity, its quality on the contrary is always amazing. To facilitate its fertilization, this vine is cultivated with a percentage of Lambrusco Salamino, side by side in the same vine.

A special wine, with an ancient history. The Pignoletto DOC is named after the homonymous town in the province of Bologna, in the municipality of Monteveglio. Plinio il Vecchio, in his work “Naturalis historia” written in the first century after Christ, exalts the wine of these areas.

The vine of Pignoletto is the Grechetto Gentile, also known as Alionzina. With thick skin and compact bunch, the vine adapts to more types of soil, as versatile as its wine. Its light, fresh and often sparkling versions of the lowland areas are well known. Equally fascinating are the more structured and persistent taste typical of hilly areas.
