The sea griffins of the Merlotta brand were borrowed from a fresco in the private residence, located in the former master’s hall, a room still filled with paintings today. Art critics trace the sea griffins and tridents to the Greek god Dionysus, the Roman Bacchus, protector of grapes and the grape harvest. The association of our brand with these mythological figures seemed both fitting and honorable to us.
Today, this trademark seals the absolute guarantee of the Merlotta brand. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Over sixty years of slow maturation, written by the passion of our family, a family tied to the secrets of the grape and the vicissitudes of our land. For four generations, we have been writing the history of our company. Each of us has contributed differently depending on the times, but always sharing the same values \u200b\u200bof sacrifice, skill, and satisfaction. Our history speaks of men and women, fathers and sons, of well-tended vineyards and great wines that have unforgettablely marked the flow of our lives. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn 1962, Paolo Minzolini and Giovanna Mimmi, the founders of the winery, started to work as sharecroppers at the Merlotta estate.
On November 28, 1983, after twenty years of hard work, they realized their dream by purchasing Tenuta Merlotta. The story of our brand had begun. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the early nineties, their sons Raffaele and Nerio, with the family experience and their specialized knowledge took over the farm, added new wine cellars and purchased other estates. Adriana, Raffaele\u2019s wife, the third pillar of the family, also joined their efforts. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTenuta Merlotta is made up of 15 hectares of wonderful vineyards, close to the head offices and the wine-making cellars. These beautiful vineyards, loved and looked after like gardens, contribute to the unique charm of the hills located between Dozza and Montecatone. Aware that \u201cgood wine is made in the vineyard\u201d, most of our work is focussed on the vineyards. A long and careful study of the estate\u2019s soil composition has allowed us, over the years, to select and plant the vines which are the most appropriate variety according to the specific features of the soil. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the cellars we treat grapes with the utmost respect and in silence we listen to the must as it becomes wine, then we patiently wait while it is ageing. <\/span><\/p>

We still perform tasks resulting from centuries-old ancestral wisdom, bearing in mind ancient and unchangeable lessons handed down to us. We are still working as craftsmen, aware that each detail is decisive. <\/span><\/p>

This is the only way in which we can create wines with a unique identity. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Our winery lies at the heart of Emilia-Romagna. Just a few kilometres from the Enoteca Regionale, which is housed in the wonderful setting of the Sforza Castle in Dozza, a medieval village that is listed among the hundred most beautiful villages of Italy. <\/span><\/p>

This land is home to a number of world excellence sites: picturesque hilly landscapes and cities of art, important local craft initiatives and companies of excellence, delicious food and a very good quality of life. Emilia Romagna is found at the centre of the main Italian wine producing area, bordering with regions that are traditionally regarded as the most suitable for vine-growing at a national level: Tuscany to the south, Piedmont to the west, Lombardy to the northwest and Veneto to the northeast. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
