History Famed for their Lambrusco wines, the Cavicchioli family has been cultivating vines in the San Prospero province of Modena (Sorbara DOC) in Italy for more than a century, but it was not until 1928 that Umberto Cavicchioli began bottling the wine under his family name. Since then, family’s focus on vineyard ownership, low yields and DOC production has been key in establishing Cavicchioli as one of the few leaders in high-quality Lambrusco. The pleasure all Cavicchioli Lambrusco’s offer underline the family’s philosophy: “Life is sweet”. The Cavicchioli family is among the largest landowners in the Modena DOC . Here, the climate is always humid with cold winters and hot summers and vineyards are planted in the pergola system to keep the vines dry. Modena remains the centre for production of quality Lambrusco.
