Description
What kind of wine it is
Trentasei by Cantina della Volta is a refined brut sparkling wine, the highest expression of Lambrusco di Sorbara grapes. Crafted using the Traditional Method, it displays an intense ruby red colour, enhanced by garnet highlights and an extremely fine perlage. On the nose, aromas of morello cherry, blackcurrant and wild rose emerge, interwoven with hints of cinchona and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it reveals a structured and precise character, with a savoury, compact and enveloping sip. A full-bodied wine, capable of combining elegance with gustatory vigour.
Where it comes from
The vines grow in Bomporto di Modena, in Emilia-Romagna, along the banks of the Secchia river. Here, the roots sink into alluvial soils located just below the embankment, an ideal habitat to impart freshness and a clear aromatic definition. Cantina della Volta interprets the vocation of this area by applying the rigorous techniques learned in Épernay. The synergy between the soil composition and the riverine microclimate gives rise to a wine with a linear and vertical profile, capable of enhancing the identity of Lambrusco di Sorbara and conveying the authentic character of the region.
How it is produced
The harvest is carried out by hand at the end of September, using small crates to preserve the integrity of the bunches. Vinification begins with a gentle pressing and the separation of the free-run must, which ferments at a controlled temperature in steel tanks. The addition of selected yeasts initiates the secondary fermentation in the bottle according to the Traditional Method. The wine then rests in a slow maturation on the lees for thirty-six months at a constant temperature. The process concludes with riddling, disgorgement and a carefully measured dosage that defines the brut style.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 2010 by Christian Bellei, Cantina della Volta honours the centuries-old family tradition in Bomporto di Modena, enhancing native grapes through the rigorous Traditional Method learned in Épernay. The production stands out for its lengthy 36-month maturation on the lees, ensuring nobility and an extraordinary creaminess. Finally, the emblematic logo featuring a boat recalls the “volta”, the ancient manoeuvre of turning barges on the Naviglio canal, thus celebrating an unbreakable bond with the local area.

The company is based in the original building of the Cantina Bellei, built by Christian’s great-grandfather on the banks of the Naviglio di Bomporto canal, near the 18th-century dock, where boats would perform la volta (‘the turnaround’) before setting sail once more to return back to the city of Modena. It is to this place, steeped in meaning and history, that we owe the symbol of the riverboat and the company name of the Cantina della Volta. Read more
