Winemaker Notes
Produced in Castelvetro di Modena, Emilia-Romagna, at about 200 meters above sea level on silty-loam, river-sediment and limestone soils. Made mainly from Trebbiano Modenese with Trebbiano di Spagna.
Farming is organic with biodynamic practices; all vineyard work and harvesting are done by hand with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in steel, followed by about nine months in steel and cement; the wine is then bottled for natural second fermentation (sur lie) and released unfined and unfiltered.
Story
Podere Sottoilnoce is Max Brondolo's small winery located on the outskirts of the medieval village of Castelvetro di Modena. The name comes from the imposing walnut tree that stands among the oldest vineyards on the estate (some reach 60 years of age); a freak of nature, as it is said that "nothing grows under the walnut tree". Max inaugurated his small business in recent 2017 from a purely artisanal idea, founded on the principles of organic agriculture and Steiner's biodynamic theories.
The vineyard area extends over 6 hectares and the most classic varieties of the Emilian tradition are grown, some abandoned and rediscovered: Lambrusco (in its Grasparossa, Fioranese and Sorbara declinations), Trebbiano (in the Spanish and Modenese biotypes) and other native ones such as 'Tosca grape'.
Podere Sottilnoce wines recall the most ancient and artisanal Emilian tradition. They are elegant, lively and greedy, with a regenerating freshness, a lively foam and an irresistible drink. Perfect companions for the everyday table, they are wines of the heart, designed for moments of pure joy, conviviality and lightheartedness.
