Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
Pure Lambrusco di Sorbara from the alluvial plain of the Secchia River in Emilia-Romagna. The finest bunches are selected and harvested exclusively by hand into crates holding no more than 15 kg, then transported with particular care to avoid damage.
Grapes
100% Lambrusco di Sorbara.
Vinification
The grapes undergo gentle pressing with strict juice-fractioning. The free-run must is clarified and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. Following at least six months of maturation in steel, selected yeasts are introduced and the wine is bottled for its second fermentation. Bottles rest horizontally at a constant 12°C. Riddling and disgorgement are followed by dosage with liqueur d’expédition.
Ageing
At least six months in stainless steel and a minimum of 36 months of bottle maturation on the lees.
