Set in the raw, untamed beauty of Alto Gallura in northern Sardinia, just above the village of Aglientu, Li Signori is a visionary new project bought to life by three long-standing friends; an ode to nature, biodiversity, sustainability, friendship, and a deep passion for wine. Prominent consultant winemaker Andrea Pala takes the helm at the winery, leading this custom-built, state-of-the-art, gravity-fed operation. In the cellar, a variety of materials are used for ageing the wines, including oak and acacia barriques, tonneaux, concrete, and stainless steel. The resulting wines are fresh and expressive and reflect the complexity and aromatic richness of Alto Gallura’s terroir.

Tenuta Pederzana work with a highly specific clone of Lambrusco Grasparossa that was originally selected after World War II by Franco Simonini, founder of the estate, who worked closely at the time with the University of Bologna. Today, his nephew Francesco Gibellini runs the estate together with his uncle Massimo and they turn out very serious, often quite dry Lambrusco wines that are guaranteed to forever change your mind about the variety. Well-made Lambrusco such as this one will match admirably well with cold meats, caponata and even stews.

Today, the Hotte estate cultivates over 60 apple varieties, comprising of both centuries-old orchards inherited from Gérard’s father and newly planted trees.
