Winemaker Notes
Light pink evanescent froth and fine and persistent perlage. The color is light red with violet hues, the perfume of flowers (violets) and red fruits is ample and intense, and the flavor is full and dry with a fruity aroma and an engaging slightly acidulous finish.
Pair with charcuterie, pasta dishes with complex sauces and rich condiments, red meats and fish. Excellent with fried fish and vegetable dishes.

What a stunning, savory, fantastic wine. It opens with lovely aromas of forest berries, fragrant blue flowers, crushed mint and spices. On the dry, gently sparkling palate, a refined perlage and crisp acidity accompany juicy strawberry, red cherry, star anise and white pepper flavors before closing on a hint of charcuterie. This offers great flavor, fun and finesse at an incredible price point. Editors’ Choice.
Made in a handful of wine regions across the globe, red sparkling wine ranges from delicately sweet to bone dry. While styles vary by region, red sparkling wine production methods are often the decision of the winemaker. For serving, cool red sparkling wine down to about 40F to 50F.
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.
