Producer Profile
Podere Giardino
Since the late 19th century, our family's legacy has revolved around two cherished passions: the nurturing of dairy cows for Parmigiano Reggiano and the cultivation of Lambrusco grapes. Great-grandfather Donnino's modest herd, coupled with his love for viticulture, laid the foundation for our enduring tradition. This symbiotic blend of animal husbandry and winemaking has been faithfully passed down through generations, with each member of the Crotti family contributing to the farm's growth. From grandfather Adolfo to his son Bruno and wife Lella, and now to us—Marco, Paolo, and Federica—since 2001, we've remained dedicated to marrying tradition with innovation.
