Winery Profile

The company is based in the original building of the Cantina Bellei, built by Christian’s great-grandfather in 1920 on the banks of the Naviglio di Bomporto canal, near the 18th-century dock where boats would do “la volta” (the turnaround) before setting sail back to the city of Modena. It is due to this place, steeped in meaning and history, that we owe the symbol of the riverboat and the company name “Cantina della Volta”.
Although the winery is in the heart of Lambrusco di Sorbara territory, Christian and his father Giuseppe have always cultivated a passion for sparkling wines of the finest quality. After numerous visits to Epernay, the capital of Champagne, to study the winemaking using the Metodo Classico, they applied it to the grapes in their own winery.
Giuseppe and Christian obtained major awards in numerous winemaking contests and are considered one of the best Lambrusco producers.
