Wine Enthusiast
Inky dark-violet notes, both fresh and dried, dominate the nose, accompanied by an abundance of plum and blackberry aromas. On the palate, rich, succulent, and mouthwatering black cherries and currants take center stage, creating a wine that truly tastes you back. Zippy acidity and fine tannins provide a well-balanced structure, making this Lambrusco a delightful and engaging.

Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.
Extending from the Adriatic coast in the east, to the border of the Mediterranean Ligurian region in the west, Emilia Romagna is a large, central Italian region focused on a wide array of gastronomic specialties. The plains of Emilia host four well-defined subzones for its famous, lightly sparkling red, Lambrusco. The more coastal Romagna has the capacity to produce impressive wines from Sangiovese and Albana.
