The story
The company originated as a group of cooperatives in Emilia: historical sources indicate that the original Cantine Riunite project involved multiple local producers from 1950. Over time the business grew, reassembling into a larger cooperative group; in September 2008 the formation of the Cantine Riunite & CIV group was formalized as an entity bringing together various wineries and brands, becoming one of Italy’s leading producers of Lambrusco and sparkling wines for national and international markets.
