Argelato's Winery

For over 30 years, the Cantina of Argelato Producers' Cooperative has been synonymous with the high value of the winemaking culture of Emilia and a reference point for all lovers of the wines and flavours of the rural tradition of the Bolognese plains.

Created in 1972 with the aim of saving the knowledge of the ancient local winemaking tradition, the Cantina of Argelato aimed to recover and give value to the DOC (Denomination of Controlled Origin) wines of the Reno, such as Montuni, Pignoletto, the Rosso dei Bentivoglio (a strong-flavoured wine taking its name from its native land, which once belonged to the Renaissance Lords of Bologna), and the well-known, sparkling Lambrusco.

Pleasant wines in harmony with the character of their producers and drinkers, to which can be added the excellent “Argelato Brut” spumante, with its delicate perlage and harmonious, smooth flavour.

The production area of wines with the “Reno” Denomination of Controlled Origin (DOC) in the Province of Bologna includes the territories of: Imola, Dozza, Castel San Pietro Terme, Castelguelfo, Medicina, Ozzano dell’Emilia, Castenaso, Budrio, Granarolo dell’ Emilia, Bologna, San Lazzaro di Savena, Bentivoglio, San Giorgio di Piano, San Pietro in Casale, Pieve di Cento, Castel Maggiore, Argelato, Castello D’Argile, Casalecchio di Reno, Calderara di Reno, Sala Bolognese, Zola Predosa, Crespellano, Anzola dell’Emilia, San Giovanni in Persiceto, Sant’Agata Bolognese, Crevalcore and Bazzano. The most typical product is Montuni, a pale yellow wine, with a delicate, pleasant and lasting aroma. The flavour is fresh, dry and pleasantly bitterish.
