Full description
Some people think that vinegar is only there to prevent the salad from looking unappetising, whilst others, on the other hand, embrace this experience and sample the finest vinegars from Emilia-Romagna!
Come and discover the Medici Ermete style at the Tenuta La Rampata farm in Montecchio Emilia. A tour awaits you through the vineyards, the historic vinegar cellar and the Wine Museum, complete with a tasting of 3 glasses of wine and 3 Traditional PDO Balsamic Vinegars!
What are you waiting for? ! Prepare your palate for the flavours of this magnificent region!
What we will do
We’ll be meeting at the Tenuta La Rampata farm in Montecchio Emilia, in the province of Reggio Emilia, set against the backdrop of the Enza river valley. We will be welcomed by our guide, who will lead us through the rows of vines and tell us the story of the Medici family, who have been carrying on their winemaking tradition for five generations.
We will then move on to the estate’s vinegar cellar. Here we will discover the secrets of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia PDO and admire the rows of historic barrels made from different types of wood (the oldest dating back to 1906) , where the vinegar matures and ages slowly.
The tour will continue to the adjacent Wine Museum, housed in a historic building. We’ll explore the tools used in winemaking up until the 1940s and 1950s, including old filters, pumps and the vat in which the grapes were trodden by foot.
Finally, it will be time for the tasting, featuring products made exclusively from grapes grown on the estate. We will taste three Traditional PDO Balsamic Vinegars of varying ages: the Aragosta, Argento and Oro labels, aged from a minimum of 12 years up to over 25 years.
We will then taste three wines, which we can choose according to our preferences from white, rosé and red, accompanied by savoury snacks such as salted ‘lingue di gatto’ biscuits with Parmesan, breadsticks and focaccia or similar.
The experience will last approximately 1. 5 hours in total.
