Cantina Paltrinieri

We had a great time learning about Sorbara Lambruscos at Paltrinieri. The team is very friendly and warm. Right from the booking process, to the tour and tasting you get the sense of familial touch and hospitality. Despite being big wine drinkers, we had avoided Lambruscos for a while due to the preconceived notion that it’ll be very sweet. This was our first time trying Sorbara Lambruscos and we were pleased / pleasantly surprised by the acidity and crispness. We loved learning about how the Paltrinieri family has evolved and influenced the Lambrusco wine palates over generations. Huge bonus- while we carried back a bottle with us, we loved finding more from the wine selection at our local Wine shop (K&L) in SF

Cantina Paltrinieri!!!! We enjoyed the Top Tasting at this winery while on holiday in Modena. It was a highlight of the trip. Alberto, the winemaker himself was present and actually made the tasting a little bit special for us! I truly hope to hear from him when he visits Alberta, Canada this summer! Grazie mille!!!

My husband and I had an amazing experience during our tour of Paltrinieri vineyards in Sorbara. We started with the balsamic vinegar and learned so much. And the history of it was incredibly interesting. Then we moved on to the Lambruscos. We got a tour of the whole facility and how the different types are made. Then the tasting…DELICIOUS!! Our tour guide, Giovanni, was great and very knowledgeable. And the vineyard itself is beautiful. We truly enjoyed our visit. Grazie mille 😊

We had such a wonderful time with Cecilia! She gave us a very informative tour! The winery is charming, and the oldest part is beautifully maintained. We loved learning about the history of the winery and fun little family stories! Highly recommended if you’re visiting Modena — even if you don’t have a car, it’s only about a 30-minute bus ride away!

Fantastic tour of the winery with Cecilia who spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable. Tasted 6 wines, a vermouth, grappa and their own 50 year old balsamic vinegar with a large platter of meats. The lambrusco here is mainly sorbara so a lot more acidity, light in colour and very elegant. One of the best wine tours definitely don't miss it !

During our April road trip, we decided on a whim to take a wine tour around Modena—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. We had an incredible time with our guide Cecilia, who shared fascinating insights into the production of Lambrusco wines and traditional balsamic vinegar. Every wine we tasted was absolutely divine, and the vinegar left such an impression that we immediately bought a bottle to bring home. To this day, we still warm up with the wonderful memories from that tour. Whenever we enjoy Parmigiano with balsamic and a glass of red wine, we inevitably find ourselves thinking of Paltrinieri. We dream of returning someday. Thank you for giving us such a special experience!

We had the pleasure of visiting Cantina Paltrinieri, and it truly lived up to its excellent reputation. Cecilia was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable; she made our visit feel personal, explaining the history and the unique character of the winery. The tasting was just incredible; such great Lambrusco wines. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great wine, genuine hospitality, and authentic Italian craftsmanship.

The wine tasting at Cantina Paltrinieri was a unique experience! Cecilia guided us to the world of Sorbara wine! 🍷 Keep up producing flavourful wines with the same passion and love! Cheers from Greece!
