Buy Wine from La Stoppa
La Stoppa is not just a winery, it is a living testimony to the indomitable character of the most authentic Emilia-Romagna. Founded in the 19th century by Amedeo Marconi, a visionary entrepreneur, this wine estate found its soul in the 1970s, when the Pantaleoni family took over the reins. It was under the leadership of Elena Pantaleoni that La Stoppa became an absolute benchmark for natural wine and unwavering respect for the identity of the terroir. Elena, with unwavering determination, transformed the estate into a standard-bearer of organic viticulture, renouncing foreign varieties and opting exclusively for the indigenous grapes that best express the essence of the territory: Barbera, Bonarda and Malvasia di Candia Aromatica.
A wild territory, an uncompromising viticulture
The vineyards of La Stoppa extend over rolling hills in the municipality of Rivergaro, along the Trebbia river valley, in a landscape dominated by clay and limestone soils that give a unique depth to its wines. Here, the vines grow in an almost wild environment, with no artificial interventions, low yields and an extraordinary concentration of flavour. The seasons dictate the rhythm, nature sets the rules, and the hand of man simply accompanies the process. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and the wines are aged in large oak barrels for years, unhurriedly, until they reach their fullness. The result is a pure, unfussy expression of Emilia-Romagna, wines that are vibrant, complex and full of character.
Wines that tell stories
Each bottle of La Stoppa is an ode to patience and respect for nature. Their reds, such as the legendary Macchiona, made from Barbera and Bonarda, show an imposing structure, as rustic as it is refined, with an amazing ageing capacity. With earthy aromas, notes of black fruits and a spicy background, these wines are an experience in themselves. On the other hand, the Malvasia di Candia Aromatica becomes an amber jewel in Ageno, an orange wine macerated with skins that defies convention, displaying a range of nuances from honey and wild herbs to a surprising minerality.
A manifesto of authenticity
Elena Pantaleoni's philosophy is uncompromising: no artifice, no fads, only the most honest expression of the vineyard. In the cellar, intervention is minimal, with no filtering or aggressive fining, allowing the wines to breathe, evolve and express themselves with absolute freedom. La Stoppa does not seek to please everyone, but to speak to those who seek the truth in every sip, to those who understand that a great wine is not only the result of technique, but the reflection of a place, of a history and of a person committed to his land.
To drink La Stoppa is to travel back in time, to feel the pulse of Emilia-Romagna in its purest form. It is a reminder that great wines are not made, but born, grow and find their own destiny.
