S'i' Fosse Foco

The S'i' fosse foco is a Mantuan lambrusco obtained with grapes entirely grown on our farm, on a clayey soil of alluvial nature, particularly suitable for the cultivation of red berry vines. Among the greatest qualities given to the wine obtained with grapes from this type of soil are very intense pigmentation, complex olfactory sensations, richness of alcohol, softness and longevity.

The cultivation techniques adopted in our farm are those of the organic farming regulations, which make it possible to obtain genuine products and promote respect for the environment, thanks to the exclusive use of natural substances. At harvest time, the grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected.

The varieties used to produce our wine are Ruberti, Salamino and Ancellotta, which make the S'i' fosse foco a wine that brings back to the Lambrusco Mantuan tradition of the past.

In the heart of the Po Valley is the Giovanni Pacchioni Farm, which the Pacchioni family has been taking care of with passion and dedication since 1801. Since the end of the 90s the farm has been run by Giovanni, who converted it into an organic farm in 1998.

Subsequently, in 2003 the first plot of vineyard was planted, supplemented by a second two years later.
Currently the farm consists of 3 hectares of vineyards, 10 hectares of forage meadows and 8 hectares of land cultivated with cereals, all in full respect of man and the environment.

As far as wine production is concerned, Giovanni has once again put himself at stake thanks to his passion for wine. In fact, after having produced wine for several years only for personal use, in 2014 he started production for a wider public, setting up his own cellar from which two labels come out, about 5000 bottles per year, and a lot of passion.
