Podere Pradarolo
Carretti Alberto

The wines of Emilia, on the right bank of the River Po, are regaining a somewhat forgotten prestige within the immense production of Italy. Thanks to a handful of winegrowers driven by a taste for authenticity and naturalness - far from the prevailing productivism - the traditions of old wine-growing areas, with their grape varieties and winemaking methods, are enjoying a new lease of life: Alberto Carretti, in the hills of Parma where his Pradarolo estate is located, is one of the major figures in the renaissance.

After having been a microbiologist, specializing in Parmesan cheese and Emilian cold cuts - a good school for the functioning of yeasts and bacteria! –, Alberto Carretti turned to viticulture in the 1980s. On the clay-limestone slopes of his father's property, in Varano de' Melegari in the Ceno Valley, southwest of Parma, he planted 6 hectares of local grape varieties: malvasia di Candia aromatica, Barbera, Croatina, along with some forgotten varieties (Termarina, Malvasia di Parma odorosissima). Since then, his approach has been one of decisive choices and experimentation where science and intuition are intimately intertwined. The estate is organically cultivated, and all the vinifications - "bianco antico" or red involve very long macerations with the skins, where the aromas and color are found. No filtration or stabilization, no added sulfur. For Spumante "metodo classico" (traditional method, i.e. champenoise), the second fermentation is generated naturally by the addition of must the following year.
