Greogorio Brigo is a young man from the countryside north of Modena. Growing up on the farm he learned hard work early in his life helping his grandfather and father in their daily routine, while also being exposed to a lot of cool Lambrusco. Brigo was an agronomist and consultant for several farms around the Modena and Bologna area but in 2021 he decided to stop selling his grapes to the massive production cooperative wineries and committed himself to creating his own small production wines. Balotta means "chatting with some friends," a good name for a wine that in Brigo's words is "devoted to friendship, sharing, party and happiness."
