Cantina della Volta

Estate story

Cantina della Volta is the contemporary expression of more than a century of winemaking heritage belonging to the Bellei family, winegrowers and entrepreneurs rooted in the town of Bomporto, in the province of Modena, since 1920.

Today, the winery is guided by Christian Bellei, oenologist and representative of the fourth generation, who carries forward the family legacy with a clear focus on elegance, precision, and identity.

The estate is housed in the original building of the historic Cantina Bellei, constructed by Christian’s great-grandfather along the banks of the Naviglio di Bomporto canal.

Nearby stood an eighteenth-century river dock where boats would perform “la volta”, the maneuver used to turn around before sailing back toward the city of Modena.

This evocative location, steeped in memory and meaning, inspired both the winery’s name and its emblem of the riverboat.

Although firmly rooted in the heart of the Lambrusco di Sorbara appellation, Christian and his father Giuseppe have long shared a deep passion for high-quality sparkling wines.
