Alex Cerioli: Love at First Sight for a Hill

Our cellar

A Hill, a Family, Wines Without Compromise

On the first hills of Parma, in Guardasone di Traversetolo, at the heart of the Food Valley, wine has been made for centuries: the first written records of high-quality production beneath the castle date back to the 14th century.

In 2013, the Cerioli family, with Alex, left the lower Mantua area for this hill. Today, they cultivate 23 hectares of vineyard on 50 hectares of land, harvest by hand in small crates, and have been working with the SQNPI integrated production protocol since 2019. Among the rows, they also rotate wheat and chickpeas for stone-ground flours and pasta.

Two Souls in the Glass

The homegrown grape varieties (Lambrusco Maestri, Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Barbera, Bonarda) and the historic ones that arrived with the French influence (Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc). From the same land also comes a Metodo Classico from the Colli di Parma that has won international awards: Cerioli X Brut, from Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay, and Cerioli Zero Nature, pure Barbera.

The Visit

The tour starts from the underground cellar and the production areas, from grape processing to aging, and continues in the barrel room and the room dedicated to Metodo Classico. The tasting takes place on the terrace overlooking the vineyards or in the panoramic room. You will be guided by the people who work in the cellar every day. Tours and tastings are also available in English.

Alex Cerioli: Love at First Sight for a Hill

In 2013, Alex Cerioli arrived at the hill of Guardasone with his family, from the lower Mantua area. For the Hills of Parma, it was love at first sight.

He didn't start from scratch: he brought with him the agricultural experience and the work culture that, for the Cerioli family, are the most important part of their family heritage. In Guardasone, he combined them with his passion for wine and a simple idea: straightforward wines without compromise, with very few sulfites and sustainable agriculture.

With enologist Alberto, he bet on a Classic Method from the Hills of Parma, from Cerioli X Brut to Zero Nature in pure Barbera, and international awards followed. Today, Oinoe also supports the Teatro Regio of Parma with a dedicated bottle.

When you visit the winery, all of this is within reach of a glass: 23 hectares of vineyard, the underground cellar, and the people who carry on the adventure every day.
