THE CELLAR
Vinicola Decordi was born in 1921 from a family tavern, where food and wines from the tradition of the Lower Padana area of Cremona were served: in the historic Quirico Decordi senior, he made wine for patrons some barrels of typical red wine, including Fortana, Ancellotta, Lambrusco, ideal companions of the local gastronomy, which were served with great success.
This success pushes the Decordis to become more and more interested in wine, in order to convince them to start a small artisanal production, both making wine with local grapes and selling bulk and bottled wines.
The registration of the Decordi winery at the Cremona Chamber of Commerce dates back to 1937 and it was in 1950 that the first major production site with more than 3 million liters of capacity was built, mainly sold in bottles and 1.50 bottles. ml.
The business grew, and soon the inter-municipal trade moved to sales in the neighboring provinces, both Lombardy and Emilia, and in 1964 "La Vinicola Decordi" increased its production site and was equipped with one of the first bottling plants.
In the 1970s, new facilities arose alongside the classic trattorias, with diverse gastronomic offerings and an increasingly careful search for suitable wines. Quirico Decordi joined the company in 1973, who, driven by a passion for oenology, decided to respond to these new needs by creating a new range of fine wines for catering.
In the 1980s, the first exports to Europe and America began, which in the 1990s also spread to Japan.
In 2005, the fourth generation joined the company with the arrival of Alessandro Decordi, Quirico's son, followed in 2017 by his sister Giulia Decordi. Therefore, the company is ready for new challenges and, in addition to growing in the production structure, with the inauguration of the new headquarters, it opens up to all new markets in emerging countries.
Despite its modernity and prestige, the Decordi Winery retains ties to the places of its history: the old tavern, where his grandfather imbottigliava wine for the villagers who stopped to have a drink in company, is still the place that Decordi love to receive and entertain prestigious guests and clients. They accompany the dishes with the appropriate wines, re-creating for a moment the atmosphere of an authentic tradition and a real link with the land and its flavors, which remains the distinctive feature of the Decordi company.
