Historical notes

The corking machines are the tools used to cork the bottle of wine that means, in this area, mostly Lambrusco e Malvasia, the most bottled, well known and 'drunk' wines of the Province.
The Museum gathers more than 300 corking machines from different times and places and it is an authentic rarity in Italy.
