Located in the heart of the Parma Hills, the Lamoretti family vineyards were founded in 1930 and have become a driving force in safeguarding the traditional varietals of this region through the Voluntary Consortium. The guiding spirit behind this family’s wine production is to let Mother Nature dictate the rhythms of growth and harvest without haste or interference from man. This keeps the finished product as close to the initial grape as the soil that gave birth to it.

“It was soothing to watch Isidoro and his son Giovanni vinifying the grapes that have been historically grown on these hills of Parma such as Malvasia Candia Aromatica. Giovanni left his job as an engineer to work side by side with his father handcrafting for the joy of producing excellent Italian wines. The Torrechiara castle, built in the 1300s, dominates the landscape of gently rolling hills with endless rows of vineyards radiating down from it.”
