Oinoe-The City of Wine is located on the first Parma hills (Guardasone di Traversetolo), right in the heart of the Emilian “Food Valley”. The winery is surrounded by 50 hectares of land, 23 of which are vineyards.
Oinoe is a family-run business: the Cerioli family, led by Alex, has managed to create a microcosm focused entirely on wine on the Guardasone hill. Their great passion for this product is combined with the experience and work culture that forms the most important part of the heritage passed down from generation to generation.
Among the cultivated varieties are native and “historical” grape varieties of the Parma hill viticulture (Lambrusco Maestri variety, Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Bonarda, and Barbera) and non-native grape varieties, mainly influenced by the French domination in the province's wine culture, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Moscato. A unique terroir (geological texture) and a particularly favorable microclimate allow for the cultivation of these types with surprising results.
The winery has recently obtained the SQNPI certification for advanced integrated agriculture, which protects human health and the environment by adhering to full sustainability criteria and minimizing the impact of production activities on nature.
Special care is given to the various production cycles: soil processing, pruning, and hand-picking of grapes gently placed in small crates, ensuring the bunch remains intact. The modern production techniques adopted and cold processing then allow for the preservation of flavors, aromas, and characteristics of the various types of wine produced as naturally as possible.
The non-vineyard lands, adjacent to the property's vineyards, are cultivated in rotation with different types of wheat and chickpeas to produce multiple types of stone-ground flour and various pasta formats.
