Bellei is a family-run producer in Bomporto, Emilia-Romagna, led by third-generation winemaker Christian Bellei. Operating as Cantina della Volta on the Naviglio di Bomporto canal, the estate restored the family’s grandfather’s winery in 2010 with partners. It makes an artisanal Lambrusco di Sorbara from 100% estate-grown grapes, harvested by hand and aged on its lees for at least 36 months. Farming is described by the producer as sustainable, although another source calls it conventional; no formal certification is mentioned.
