It’s Monday, Let’s raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It’s time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let’s begin Exploring the Wine Glass.  If everything you thought you knew about Lambrusco comes from a sweet, fizzy red bottle you bought in college… clear your palate right now. Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we are taking a trip straight to the sun-drenched plains of Medolla, in the heart of Modena, Italy, to explore a winery that is completely rewriting the rules of what this historic region can do. We’re diving deep into the world of VentiVenti—a cutting-edge estate founded in 2020 by the Razzaboni family. Now, “2020” isn’t just the birth year of the winery; it’s a nod to 2020 vision—that sharp, precise ability to look at traditional terroir and see an entirely new, sustainable future. In our exclusive virtual tasting recorded just recently, we sat down with the team to explore how they transformed former cereal farmland into 70 hectares of pristine, organic vines. We talk about the high-clay alluvial soils of the Pianura Padana, why structure and vibrant minerality are replacing the old clichés, and how they are crafting world-class Metodo Classico and Charmat sparkling wines from native grapes like Sorbara and Salamino.
