Cantina Rota: A Family Legacy in Winemaking

Located in Castellazo of Reggio Emilia, Cantina Rota is a cherished family winery with roots dating back to the 1920s. Founded by Roberta Rota after World War I, the winery has been nurtured by generations of the Rota family, with Dario, the founder's grandson, currently at the helm. As one of the few remaining family-owned wineries in the region, Cantina Rota has a rich history and a commitment to quality. In the 1950s, Dario's father, Benso Rota, transformed an old winery into the heart of Cantina Rota, which now spans approximately 40 hectares of prime vineyard land in Castellazo and the surrounding hills. The winery takes pride in managing every aspect of winemaking, from grape cultivation to bottling, ensuring exceptional quality in every bottle.
