Winemaker Notes
Lively red with purple highlights. This wine shows a pleasantly fruity bouquet with hints of morello cherries. Full with an attractive balance between an initial rounded sensation and the dry, tannic finish.
Perfect for all rich foods, this wine pairs well with egg pastas, various fried dishes, quiches, baked vegetable dishes or lasagna and is great with pizza.

Vinous
Crushed violets mix with wet stones and blackberries as the 2023 Lambrusco Il Grasparossa opens in the glass. It is juicy in style with ripe wild berry fruits offset by a pleasantly bitter tinge as inner lavender tones swirl throughout. This finishes long and slightly chewy, leaving the palate aching for more.
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.
