Winemaker Notes
A harmonious blend of the Lambrusco varieties Marani, Maestri, Salamino, and Grasparossa, grown on clay-sandy soils. The grapes are harvested in the first ten days in September. Short Charmat method.
Pleasantly fruity and spicy, recalling wild violet and mellow cherry perfumes with a delicately spicy fragrance of clove and pepper. Medium-bodied with lively tannin; balanced, fresh and very refined.
Blend: 25% Lambrusco Marani, 25% Lambrusco Maestri, 25% Lambrusco Salamino, 25% Lambrusco Grasparossa

A fragrant sparkling red showing violets, cherries and licorice on the nose. It’s crisp and dry on the palate, light- to medium-bodied, with fine, crunchy tannins and light bubbles. From organically grown grapes.
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.
