Winemaker Notes
A monovarietal Lambrusco di Sorbara born in 1987 to mark Cavicchioli’s 60th anniversary and made from grapes grown in the five-hectare vineyard of the same name in Cristo, in the Sorbara production zone. The vivid pale pink hue is accompanied by a mousse with purplish highlights; a concentrated nose of fruity and floral notes; and a full, mouth filling palate with a pleasant acidulous note. Vigna del Cristo is a wine that testifies to the quality of the Sorbara grape, which is modern and unique while remaining true to tradition.

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.
