Always to stay on the topic of “beautiful things”.
By now it is clear that the businesses I prefer are those that are family-run, authentic, where passion and sacrifice blend together and create treasures of rare beauty like Fattoria Corte Roeli.
Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Roberto and his wife Elisabetta, two extraordinarily courteous people, excellent hosts who, as soon as you cross the threshold, you can already consider long-time friends.
Corte Roeli is the result of the renovation of an ancient estate (1500!) that stands along the banks of a historic river in the Bolognese countryside.
Yesterday was certainly not a good day to discover the landscape, the fog and rain did not allow me to see the beauty of this place in its entirety, as it is an eco-sustainable company that, among other things, also grows products with a low environmental impact.
The property has 5 rooms and an independent mini-apartment, a restaurant for guests that, believe me, makes you dream and predisposes you to greed.
Excellent raw materials, many home-made products, including some wines and Saba, also known as cooked must.
After a rich morning spent with Roberto who tells the story of this oasis between Bologna and Ferrara, you forget the reason for the stop and would like to know every detail of this wonderful reality.
But it’s lunchtime and the owner Roberto gets to the stove to make what is one of the best tagliatelle I’ve ever eaten (and do you know whose daughter I am?), a textbook tasting of coppa di testa and a glass of Don Leandro, an excellent sparkling red wine obtained with the Charmat method from Lambrusco di Sorbara grapes.
If you are on the road, I recommend a stop at Pegola di Malalbergo, you will be struck by this family and by what you will read in their eyes: love, passion, tradition and desire to carry forward a dream that seems true.
What do I take home with me?
The desire to return ❤️
