Remigio Medici owned three successful taverns and decided to found a winery with the aim of making the most of the family vineyards, located between the Via Emilia and the foothills of the Enza valley. Remigio’s son Ermete expanded the business and consolidated the company’s reputation, before handing over the reins to his sons Valter and Giorgio, who began to export, further expanding the brand. The long history of Medici Ermete had officially begun…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 70s, the United States witnessed the “Lambrusco boom”, and it is important to underline how, together with Chianti, it was among the first Italian wines to be exported. In 1988, sales for the entire Emilian sector collapsed following an ever-increasing production offer in terms of quantity and not quality. This particular situation led to the birth of sweet Lambrusco, an industrial product sold at very low prices, which in just a few years destroyed the good name of Lambrusco. In that same year the fourth generation of the Medici family, Alberto and Pierluigi Medici, joined the company. A little later Alessandra too came along, now managing the company hospitality. These were fundamental years for the history of Medici Ermete: the family decided to revolutionise the production method of Lambrusco! The vineyards were replanted and the yields were lowered by 35% compared to the regulations (through a pruning system called cordon spur). From this pioneering philosophy, in 1993 our “Concerto”, a CRU of Lambrusco Salamino, was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday the company owns about 80 hectares of vineyards (grown entirely organically), distributed among the areas with the highest wine-making vocation in the Emilia-Romagna region, and exports to over 70 countries in the world. Now in their fifth generation, represented by Alessandro, the Medici family can boast solid experience in the vineyard as well as the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csub\u003eCountry: Italy | Region: Emilia Romagna | Alcohol: 11.5% | Grapes: Lambrusco Sorbara | Organic | Sustainable | Vegetarian | Vegan\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tan\u0026Ns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12348328542320,"sku":"11100","price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0356\/6409\/files\/IMG_1673.jpg?v=1773413853"},{"product_id":"maturanoorangewine","title":"I Ciacca Nostalgia IGT Lazio Maturano 2019 75cl","description":"\u003ch4\u003eTasting Note\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"A brilliant plum skin, creamy textured lemon and grapefruit flavoured wine with graphite and brilliant acidity.

Originally just one Brunello was made, a blend from the two separate vineyards, but in the 1990s, Tommaso and his father realised that the two vineyards had distinctly different soil composition. They decided that better wine would be made if each terroir was properly realised in the bottle, and thus were born Poggiarelli (in the south east) and La Mannella (in the north).
