Casa Benna Winery

Located in the Picturesque Emilia-Romagna Region

Nestled among the lush landscapes of the Colli Piacentini, Casa Benna is situated in Castell'Arquato, a charming medieval village. Since 2011, the winery has been a proud member of the FIVI (Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti), showcasing its commitment to quality and tradition.

The Molinari Family's Legacy

The Molinari family has been at the helm of Casa Benna for generations. Initially focused on winemaking in Lugagnano, the family moved operations to Casa Benna in 1916, thanks to Pietro Molinari, the great-grandfather of the current owner. Over the years, the family has passionately expanded the winery, earning accolades such as a silver medal at the Piacentini wine exhibition in 1937.

Quality Grapes from 11 Hectares of Vineyards

Casa Benna dedicates 11 hectares to cultivating high-quality grapes, emphasizing biodiversity and local terroir. The winery grows traditional Piacentino varieties, including Barbera and Bonarda for Gutturnio, as well as Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Ortrugo, Moscato, and Trebbiano Romagnolo. Recently, they introduced ERVI, a new grape variety developed by Professor Fregoni in collaboration with the Università Cattolica di Piacenza, which is a cross between Barbera and Bonarda. During harvest, the team hand-selects the finest grapes, ensuring that only the best make it to the winery. Each grape variety is processed according to its unique characteristics, resulting in wines that reflect the essence of the Colli Piacentini: Gutturnio, Bonarda, Ortrugo Monterosso val d'Arda, Malvasia, and ERVI.
