Reno

The "Reno" Protected Designation of Origin includes three wines: white and Montuni. Both are also produced in the variants Sparkling and Spumante wine.


Grapes

The "Reno" white and its two variants must be produced exclusively using grapes from vineyards composed of the vines Albana and Trebbiano (minimum 40%), combined with other white grapes, non-aromatic, suitable for cultivation in Emilia Romagna. The Montuni type, on the other hand, requires 85% of the homonymous vine, together with 15% of other similar berry grapes, identified as above.


Physicochemical and Organoleptic properties

"Reno" Montuni wines have a straw yellow aspect, which in the Sparkling and Spumante variants is decorated with a fine and persistent froth (also lively for the Sparkling). The aroma is pleasant, characteristic and vinous, and the taste is savoury and full-bodied, with a taste that can be dry, sweet, sweet or sweet. The basic version has a minimum total alcoholic strength by volume of 10.5% vol., as does the sparkling wine; in the Spumante, on the other hand, it rises to 11% vol.


Grape production area

In the area of production of "Reno" wines, located in the provinces of Modena and Bologna, the environmental characteristics of the Pianura Padana are mixed with those of the Apennines, creating an area with a typically sub-continental climate, with cold winters and hot summers.


Specificity and historical notes

In medieval times, Bologna and Modena were divided by a strong rivalry; the first was part of the “Stato Pontificio”, the second was constituted in a duchy, connected to the Habsburg Lorraine. A distinction that was also reflected in the vines prevalent in the cultivations: “Lambrusco” for Bologna, white grapes for Modena.
