Ca dei Quattro Archi - Rita Golinelli & Mauro Mazza
The Ca 'dei Quattro Archi winery is a small family-run business located in Imola, in the province of Bologna.
Born in 2000 at the behest of Rita Golinelli and Mauro Mazza, who, driven by the appeal of wine, decide to leave their respective professions and take over the old vineyards of Rita's father, located on the hills of Imola.
The choice of Rita and Mauro is to lead the vineyards in a biological way and to make wines with an artisan and very traditional approach. The cultivated hectares are about 6 hectares, divided into two different parcels: one next to the company headquarters that rests on a ground composed of sand, while the second is located around the Casalfiumanese area, along the Rio Mescola, where the land is of clayey and rich in limestone.
In the vineyard we find mainly traditional vines such as Albana, Malvasia, Trebbiano Romagnolo, Sangiovese, but also Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The work in the vineyard is very careful and rigorous, with no use of chemicals, but only respect for the cycles of nature.
In the cellar, the interventions are not invasive, without pressing the grapes, all the grapes are macerated for a variable time depending on the type, fermentations take place spontaneously without pied de cuve and without temperature control, aging on the fine lees, and no filtration before bottling.
The wines of Ca 'dei Quattro Archi are identity, and have the awareness of the terroir from which they come.
