THE S L O W LANE ARISTO | A Marriage of Style, Wine, Food and Nature

Chilled red is the new green...?

?This week, let me take your hand to Emilia-Romagna country to explore this former home of the Italian aristocracy, set within an organic 130-hectare?viticultural estate and sandwiched between Parma and Reggio Emilia.?

Food, wine and style lovers - this one is for you. With just a handful of rooms wrapped by tall?cypress?trees, woodlands, rolling hills and infinity vineyards, this smart heritage pitstop comes with a pool and greenhouse restaurant.?

Home to Italy's first organic certified Lambrusco, this?sustainable-at-heart?estate and hotel is (y)our newest pitstop, a chateau of?casual?luxe – cue, a shaded spot under a tree, a bottle of the chilled red stuff and a plate of Parmesan and Parma?ham drizzled by the house Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Reggio Emilia.

Made in Emilia with love,?
