La Stoppa
About
Elena Pantaleoni runs this historic estate in the Colli Piacentini hills, producing natural wines from Barbera, Bonarda, and the rare white grape Malvasia di Candia. The flagship Ageno is an amber wine made with extended skin contact on Malvasia — rich, textural, and utterly original. The farmhouse setting in rolling hills is bucolic perfection.
Why It's a Hidden Gem
A natural wine icon in a forgotten corner of Emilia, producing orange wines and skin-contact whites that are pilgrimages for the in-the-know.
