Medici Ermete

Medici Ermete began in 1890, when Remigio Medici decided to establish a winery for his family vineyards between the Via Emilia and the foothills of the Enza valley. Remigio’s son and grandchildren expanded the business and consolidated the company’s reputation. From 1970s, until 1988 there was a Lambrusco boom and bust, and as a result the family decided to revolutionise its production. The vineyards were replanted and the yields were lowered by 35% (through a pruning system called cordon spur). Then, in 1993, their “Concerto”, a CRU of Lambrusco Salamino, was born. Today the vineyards grown entirely organically and run by the fifth generation, represented by Alessandro.
