Winemaker Notes
A lively red with purple highlights, persistent mousse with a lovely lilac-pink hue. Fresh and fruity, with a broad, inviting bouquet. Sprightly, fruity and soft. The moderate tannins leave the palate pleasingly refreshed and ready for the next sip.
A good partner for the classic dishes of Emilia (‘tortellini’, ‘tortelli’, ‘tagliatelle’ with Bolognese sauce, ‘tigelle’, fried ‘gnocchi’, etc.), it is also ideal with delicately flavored foods, including fish. An excellent aperitif, it can also happily be drunk throughout a meal chilled.
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.
