It was in 1938 when Otello Ceci, a well-known innkeeper in the foggy lower part of Parma, realized that in his small trattoria, apart from tasting his excellent culatelli and salami, the guests went "crazy" for the very dark lambrusco served in bowls. Year after year, that marvelous ritual of wine-pressing in October, finally became his focus and that of his children. So much so that the almost 400 best wine-growers in the area compete in selling him their best harvest.
In the '90s new blood arrived with the current grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and from there products were created that no-one had ever imagined doing. Thus becoming in a short time one of the highest quality reference cellars for Lambrusco. In those years Lambrusco "Terre Verdiane" was created, becoming one of the most popular and liked lambruschi in Italian catering.
In 2003, after years of experimenting in the vineyards, "Otello Oro NerodiLambrusco" was created. A Lambrusco of an extremely dark colour, with an intense bouquet of violets and strawberries, with a mellow yet definitely important body. In a short while it took the whole national and international market by storm. Research and innovation in places like the Cantina Ceci are why the product is at the top level of quality and packaging in the splendid panorama of the Italian wine-making industry.

Manufactured from the finest aromatic grapes of our region, obtaining its sparkle from the old Martinotti method. Extraordinary nose with floral sensations of roses and hawthorn and the fruity scents of apples and peaches.
It leaves an evident freshness on the palate bringing out a totally balanced taste, masterfully enhanced by a good final mellowness. Excellent as an aperitif, yet this wine is also an ideal companion of delicate salami and cold pork meats and fish dishes.
