Agriturismo Montevecchio Isolani

Relaxation, nature, and winemaking tradition in the Bolognese Hills

In the Bolognese Hills, among neatly lined vineyards and sweeping views over gentle slopes, lies an Estate that preserves the secrets of Emilia’s winemaking tradition.

Here, the Isolani family has been producing wine since 1456, as documented in the estate’s archives, which recount centuries of vine cultivation and a deep-rooted bond with the land. Today, this heritage takes shape in an organic production of DOC and DOCG wines that authentically express the characteristics of the soil and the hillside microclimate.

The winery seamlessly blends history and innovation: alongside historic buildings, modern winemaking technologies are employed to enhance the quality of grapes grown in the estate’s own vineyards. Every stage—from harvest to vinification and ageing—is carefully overseen to preserve aromas, freshness, and balance. The result is a range of wines that tells the story of the Bolognese Hills, from the Colli Bolognesi Pignoletto DOCG, the territory’s flagship wine, fresh and mineral, to structured and harmonious reds such as Rosso Bologna DOC.

Guided cellar tours offer an up-close look at the production process, strolling among barrels and barriques, and introduce visitors to a company philosophy rooted in sustainability and respect for nature. Tastings are a central part of the experience: a sensory journey pairing the estate’s organic wines with local specialties, enhancing the flavours of Emilia and providing a complete immersion in the region’s food and wine culture.

For those wishing to extend their stay, Montevecchio Isolani Agriturismo also offers two renovated farmhouses—including the evocative “Tower”, set among the vineyards and the old stables—with comfortable rooms and apartments equipped with free Wi-Fi. It’s an invitation to experience the Bolognese countryside through wine not merely as visitors, but as protagonists of an experience that weaves together history, landscape, and a passion for winemaking.
