This appellation is blessed with a unique terroir: gentle hills that roll gracefully, kissed by the Mediterranean sun, cooled by mountain breezes, and nurtured by the fertile soils that have been the cradle of Italian wine for centuries.
But what truly sets Reggiano DOC apart is its rich tapestry of grape varieties. Among the reds, Lambrusco stands out prominently, reflecting the region's deep-rooted wine tradition.
