Since 1938 Cantine Ceci has brought Lambrusco from Bassa Parmense to tables throughout Italy and, to date, around the world. Initially, the Lambrusco produced by Otello Ceci was served as an accompaniment to the dishes of his tavern, but in a short time it became the protagonist of the Italian table. Otello then decided to transform his trattoria into a cellar and from here began the success story of Cantine Ceci. To spread the name of Cantine Ceci throughout Italy and abroad were the sons of Otello: Bruno and Giovanni, with "Terre Verdiane", a wine that boasts the IGT designation of Lambrusco dell'Emilia and which in a short time has been successful all over the world, not only for its excellent quality, but also for its unmistakable packaging, a bottle with a high and slender profile, with a flush cap. Another typical wine of the Ceci tradition is Lambrusco Otello, in homage to the founder of the cellars, which stands out for its intense taste and its fruity notes. Considered the company's masterpiece, it has won numerous awards, including the Cinque Grappoli di Bibenda. The culture of the territory, the attention to quality and the passion for good wine have also been handed down to Otello's grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Alessandro, Maria Paola, Elisa, Chiara and Maria Teresa, who since 1996 have led what has become a solid and structured reality, maintaining the same convivial atmosphere that was perceived in Otello's trattoria.
