Cantina RÒS · Terroir at the center
Authentic wines, old vines, and radical purism in the foothills of Lake Garda.
The inclusion of Cantina RÒS in our selection stems from the inner circle of the MaWa origin. As a close friend of the family behind Co.Ci.No., founder Daniele Paolucci shares the same uncompromising understanding of artisanal integrity that defines Castiglione delle Stiviere. Founded in 2015 in the hamlet of Grole, the winery represents a philosophy that refuses to smooth out wine or subject it to industrial standardization: here, the unvarnished terroir of the stony moraine hills reigns supreme, framed by scrub forests and natural hedgerows.
“Minimal intervention in the cellar demands maximum discipline in the vineyard—an authentic character of origin tolerates no cosmetic corrections.”
Old vines on historic moraine soil
The foundation of the Azienda consists of sun-exposed plots characterized by stone and limestone, with predominantly old vines. The microclimate between the foothills of Lake Garda and the protected hillside gives the grapes a distinct natural freshness and aromatic tension. To precisely preserve the character of each individual micro-site, cultivation is carried out in harmony with the surrounding biodiversity: avoiding synthetic agents, practicing selective manual labor in the vineyard, and maintaining strict yield discipline.
Radical minimalism in micro-batches
In the cellar, Daniele Paolucci follows the principle of consistent non-intervention. Nature remains in the lead at every stage: fermentation processes start spontaneously using vineyard-native yeasts, and fining, filtration, or standardizing additives are avoided. In strictly limited micro-batches, this results in distinctive Rifermentati (artisanal bottle-fermented wines made using the traditional method), profound skin-contact wines, and single-varietal still wines with a dense structure.
The essence of pomace · A grappa from our own production
This holistic approach does not end with wine. With a particular sense of artisanal pride, Daniele Paolucci has the natural pomace from his own grapes distilled into a grappa with a strong character. This distillate perfectly completes the winery's natural cycle and preserves the unvarnished, powerful soul of the moraine hills in its purest form.
For MaWa, RÒS closes a significant circle: the combination of family familiarity and oenological free spirit delivers wines and distillates with an unmistakable profile—created for discerning connoisseurs who value depth and edges over pleasing mass-produced goods.
