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.
The Cantina of Argelato has become synonymous with the high value of Emilian winemaking culture and a point of reference for all lovers of the wines and flavours of the rural tradition of the Bolognese plains.

The Cantina of Argelato, which was established in 1972 with the intention of safeguarding local ancient winemaking tradition, is aimed at recovering and promoting Reno DOC wines, such as Montuni, Pignoletto, 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.
