Medici Ermete - Carezza Lambrusco di Sorbara 2021
In 1890, Remigio Medici, owner of three successful taverns on the Via Emilia, the most important road in Reggio Emilia, founded 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.
In the 1970s, the United States witnessed the “Lambrusco boom”, which together with Chianti, was among the first Italian wines to be exported. These wines were sweet, inoffensive, predictable, and forgettable.
In 1988, 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 crucial years for the history of Medici Ermete, as the family revolutionized the production method of Lambrusco. The vineyards were replanted and the yields were lowered by 35% of the allowed regulations by pruning using a single cordon spur, resulting in the introduction in 1993 of the Concerto, a cru wine made of Lambrusco Salamino. This wine has received the Tre Bicchieri award for the fourteenth time from the Gambero Rosso group, which denotes excellence among the best of its type and among the best in all of Italy.
Today the company owns about 80 hectares of vineyards (grown entirely organically), distributed among the best areas 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.
