Above: Lini 910 has been certified sustainable since 2021. “We’ve always been a sustainable winery,” reads the caption below, “but we have been Equalitas certified since July 2021.”

The historic Lini 910 winery in Correggio (Reggio Emilia province, Emilia-Romagna) is the first winery in Emilia to have obtained “Sustainability Certification” according to the strict standards established by the Italian certification organization Equalitas.

Equalitas is a project launched by Federdoc and the Unione Italiana Vini, the two leading winery associations in Italy. Its goal is to promote a unique approach to sustainability in the Italian wine industry. It’s based on three “pillars”: social, environmental, and economic.

“With this important certification,” says the Lini family, “we have achieved a long-time goal of ours: Sharing our care for the environment and natural resources with our clients and with lovers of Lambrusco and Classic Method sparkling wines throughout the world. It’s a reflection of our winemaking philosophy and our respect for the earth and our land.”
