Serving temperature & decanting: Serve at 55–59°F; a short 15–20 minute decant will open the aromatics; also works well slightly cool as an aperitivo

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Il Farneto

Azienda Agricola Il Farneto was founded in the mid-1990s by Marco Bertoni in Castellarano, on land rising between the Scandiano and Canossa hills in western Emilia-Romagna. Bertoni's stated goal from the outset was to restore natural, low-intervention farming to a part of Italy where industrial agriculture had become dominant. The estate covers 34 hectares in total, of which 8 are under vine, with the remainder given over to woodland, fossiliferous gullies, wheat, and pasture. The property functions as a self-contained biodynamic system: compost is produced on site, animals are kept on the land, and all inputs, whether in the vineyard or in the cellar, are minimised.

The vineyards are planted at 4,000 vines per hectare on clay and chalk soils at around 300 metres elevation. Vine age averages between 15 and 20 years. Varieties include Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Lambrusco Grasparossa, Marzemino, Malbo Gentile, Spergola, and Trebbiano Modenese, all indigenous to the region. Winemaker Flavio Restani oversees cellar work, where fermentations are entirely spontaneous and wines are bottled without fining or filtration, with minimal sulfites added only when needed for transport stability.

The estate's wines are grouped under two lines: the "Giandòn" label covers still, skin-contact, and rosé wines, while the "Frisant" line covers sparkling and ancestral-method styles. "Giandòn" is a local Emilian dialect term, while the name "Rio Rocca" references the nearby river, known for its fossiliferous rock formations and natural biodiversity.

Wine region

Emilia–Romagna, Italy

Emilia-Romagna runs across north-central Italy from the Po River plains in the north to the first ridges of the Apennine Mountains in the south, with the Adriatic coast forming its eastern boundary. The region divides roughly into two historical zones: Emilia to the west, centred on the Via Emilia Roman road connecting Piacenza to Rimini, and Romagna to the east. The western half, covering the provinces of Reggio Emilia, Modena, and Parma, is the historic stronghold of Lambrusco and of Emilia's indigenous white varieties, including Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Spergola, and Trebbiano Modenese.

Castellarano, where Il Farneto is based, sits in the Colli di Scandiano e di Canossa DOC zone in the southern hills of Reggio Emilia province. At 250 to 350 metres elevation, these foothills rise from the flat agricultural plain into more complex terrain, where soils shift from heavy alluvial clay to sandier substrates with chalk and limestone. The hillside position brings better drainage, greater diurnal temperature variation, and the kind of biodiversity that has made this corner of Emilia attractive to producers interested in natural and biodynamic farming.

Malvasia di Candia Aromatica is one of the region's most characterful white varieties: intensely perfumed, with a tendency toward tropical and floral aromatics, it has historically been used in blends but is increasingly vinified as a varietal wine, including in skin-contact styles where its aromatic profile holds up well against extended maceration. The broader Emilia-Romagna region is also home to some of Italy's most celebrated food products, including Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto di Parma, Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena, and Culatello di Zibello, all of which share the same territory as these vines.
