Lambrusco Metodo Ancestrale dell’Emilia IGT secco
Metodo Ancestrale (also called Pet Nat) is a natural form of fermentation in the bottle, but without the addition of a dosage. This second fermentation in the bottle stops automatically due to the natural consumption of oxygen. The wine is not shaken and then disgorged as in the Champagne process, but is usually put on sale on its lees.
Dark pink with purple reflections. On the nose, ripe raspberries with a delicate note of elderberries. On the palate, the taut acid structure combined with precise fruit components such as raspberry, cassis, sloe and a hint of citrus are convincing. Although the residual sugar has been completely fermented, this Lambrusco is still fruity, drinky and an exceptional pleasure with every sip! SUPERIORE.DE"Light strawberry pink; discreet strawberry fruit, also distantly rosemary; fine foamy, strawberry fruit, delicate tartness, juicy." (JLF) Merum

The 2022 tapers off with admirable length and pleasantly chewy, leaving suggestions of hard candies and inner rose to linger. "

“Vigneto Enrico Cialdini” Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC 2022 secco
Purple dark red colour, beautiful foam. Cherry nose, continues in the fresh drink with notes of elderberries and a fine bitter note. A high-quality, dry and powerful Lambrusco from the Enrico Cialdini vineyard with remarkable juiciness and well-balanced sweetness. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium, purple-red colour; intense red berry, inviting; very fine foam, certain sweetness, balanced, drinky, fruity length, very nice." (JLF) Merum
"Bright, medium ruby red colour with a persistent head. Ripe blackberries and blackcurrants on the nose, followed by a hint of violets and cherries. Juicy and fresh on the palate, with well-integrated perlage and fine tannins, drinky and with a long final." Falstaff
"Dark as night in the glass, the 2022 Lambrusco Grasparossa Vigneto Cialdini smolders up with a seductive bouquet of sage and lavender giving way to black currants and sweet smoke. It’s more savory than sweet with textures of pure silk, further embellished by a creamy steam of fine bubbles and ripe wild berry fruits. This leaves a licorice tinge while tapering off remarkably fresh yet also long and staining to the senses. I’m loving the complexity yet also the elegance here. The Vigneto Cialdini is a varietal Lambrusco Grasparossa." Vinous
"Concentrated aromas of black plum, fig, blackberry, white pepper, allspice and tea leaves pour from the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a lush and generous offering of black cherry jam balanced by floral and spicy elements that bring the wine to its earthy finish." Wine Enthusiast

“RADICE” Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2022 secco
Out with the clichés, in with the surprise! Paltrinieri's most famous Lambrusco wine will also delight every connoisseur. Radice is produced using the Pét Nat method (Metodo Ancestrale) and therefore undergoes a second fermentation on its own yeast after bottling. This naturally cloudy, dry frizzante impresses on the nose with notes of rhubarb, a fresh citrus flavour and a hint of bread. The persistent, fine perlage and its drinkynature make it a racy accompaniment to savoury, spicy antipasti, light meat dishes or simply a lively celebration in the midst of nature and cheerful people. SUPERIORE.DE
"Lambrusco di Sorbara is simply an insider tip for real sparkling wine freaks. Paltrinieri vinifies his Radice undegorged as a PetNat. There is a lot of rhubarb on the nose and then this gentle, warm note of yeast. It is really dry on the palate and revitalises the senses with its fresh acidity. Rhubarb again, and a fresh note of yellow lemons. A real appetiser that makes your mouth water." Vinum
"Aromas of candied citrus, white peach and musk melon, followed by pie crust and candy floss. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a fine bead. Subtle flint minerality on the finish. Lively and aromatic wine." James Suckling
"The extremely elegant Lambrusco di Sorbara Radice 2022 is a pretty pink with orange-coloured reflections. It opens with a mixture of orange zest, tangerine and cracked slate. A silky pearl of bubbles unfurls on the palate, contrasted by an acidic burst of citrus, while exotic flowers and candied ginger nuances swirl through the nose. A subtle hint of grapefruit emerges on the crisp, refreshing final as the 2022 slowly tapers off. This Radice is a blockbuster. Savour it chilled for instant satisfaction, or let it warm slowly in a large glass with a bowl." Vinous
"A Sorbara vinified in purity as it has never been dared before, in a very relevant reading. A nose of wild strawberries and pepper leaf, with floral notes of iris, the mouthfeel is taut, savoury, with a fruity return and length." Luca Gardini

"Fresh strawberry, sweet herbs, roses and smoke create an inviting display as the 2019 Lambrusco di Sorbara Lariserva opens up in the glass.

“Rimosso” Vino Frizzante Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2022 secco
The first alcoholic fermentation of the must takes place in steel tanks on the fine lees at a controlled temperature and after a waiting period of at least six months, the wine is bottled. The bottles remain at a constant temperature of 12°C so that the wine can undergo its second fermentation and mature on its own yeasts, which remain at the bottom of the bottle as a light sediment (note: it is not filtered!).
An animating cherry red colour with violet reflections and a yeasty cloudiness due to the lack of filtration. A surprisingly cheeky nose of wild strawberry and redcurrant, very fresh and accessible. The palate is vibrant with lots of raspberry and traces of rhubarb, the exciting interplay is flanked by delicate yeast tones and a wonderfully present acidity and ensures an impressive race and class that only the Lambrusco grandmaster Christian Bellei can conjure up in the bottle! SUPERIORE.DE
"Sparkling, brilliant cherry pink colour with persistent perlage and slight cloudiness. Cool nose of delicate apricots and forest fruits, great lemony components, fresh and fragrant. Very dry on the palate, with a delicate fruity flavour, salty, a little tannin on the finish, full-bodied." Falstaff
"The NV Rimosso is inviting, with a pretty blend of violets, lavender and blueberries. This Rimosso is more striking on the palate, saline and intense, with a chiseled bead of bubbles offset by ripe wild berry fruits. The Rimosso finishes perfumed and long, leaving a liquid floral staining and tactile mineral tones that linger on. Very nice." Vinous

When a wine is named after the founder and mastermind of what is probably the most famous and hottest winery in the region around Modena, you should take a closer look, or better yet, reach directly for the bottle. This extraordinary sparkling wine is produced using the Blanc de Noirs method, i.e. a white spumante from red grapes - certainly not an everyday occurrence in the Lambrusco world.
And the result is just as special and high-class: golden colour with greenish reflections, lively and with a fine, infinitely long-lasting perlage. On the nose, delicate white peach, flint, salt, lemon and grapefruit. On the palate, then, crisply vibrant and endowed with an elegant acidity, the subtle fruit sweetness stretches out beautifully and its delicate mousseux gives this exceptional spumante its inimitable structure. The archetype of an aperitif and in its high-class, irresistible drinking flow simply unbeatable good and equal to the great name of the founder! SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright silver with delicate perlage. In the nose at first with a slight reduction, something like flint, ripe lemons, in addition cold smoke and candle wax. On the palate precise, almost cutting, with racy acidity and high draw, makes the tongue click." Falstaff

Metodo Classico Rosé Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2017 brut
Here is one of the most serious and at the same time most exciting sparkling wines that can be made from the Sorbara variety!
Pale to dusky pink in colour with a fine foam and accentuated, persistent perlage. The bouquet is almost magical and yet very distinguished, with hints of raspberry and wild strawberry, which is what makes a top-class Lambrusco, but still seems to be an unattainable goal for many local winemakers. A fine acidity on the palate, with delicate, dry bitter notes and an exciting brightening of fruity tones of wild strawberry and pomegranate. The overall impression is bone-dry and the bottled dream of a Lambrusco produced using the Champagne method, which is unrivalled in the wine landscape. SUPERIORE.DE
"Light, bright salmon pink colour. Intense cherry and tangerine flavours on the nose. Opens on the palate with fresh tangerine, gentle perlage and light pressure, shows great acidity, with tension, ends sweet and fruity." Falstaff
"The 2017 Brut Rosé Metodo Classico Lambrusco di Sorbara is airy and spicy in the glass. This is pleasantly round with a pretty inner sweetness to balance its mineral-tinged bubbles and tart orchard fruits. The 2017 finishes remarkably fresh as a residual bump of acidity keeps the mouth watering and hints of sour citrus fade." Vinous

“La Prima Volta” Metodo Classico DOC 2018 dosaggio zero
A Lambrusco with almost zero (!) grams of residual sweetness seems like an insurmountable contradiction. But far from it, the Lambrusco benchmark Cantina della Volta delivers a sparkling wine here that can keep up with the best rosé champagnes of the noble region of France.
Delicate pale pink with an impressively fine perlage in the glass. In addition to the classics raspberry and wild strawberry, the bouquet opens with wonderfully floral notes that make it seem downright lovely despite its lack of sugar. On the palate, then, of indescribable finesse, creaminess and "dry sweetness", which makes us refill without much hesitation and draws us fully into the glass. La Prima Volta is a spumante with just the right balance of class, drinkability and mineral freshness, just as we would like to enjoy a sparkling wine today and tomorrow. Never too heavy, but still with an irresistible depth and far from any arbitrariness. SUPERIORE.DE

If it's been a few years since your last glass of Lambrusco, it's high time to change that. The sweet, mass-produced wine image from the 1980s no longer does justice to one of Italy's most famous wines. In fact, over the past decade, dedicated winemakers have been working to produce this sparkling red wine of high quality, which reflects the convivial, joyful joie de vivre of the inhabitants of Emilia-Romagna like no other. So forget the old prejudices, because Lambrusco is nowadays much better than its former reputation.
Modern wine with an ancient tradition
Certainly, the story of Lambrusco begins long before the sweet and aggressively fizzy cheap version flooded our supermarket shelves. The name derives from the wild vine Vitis labrusca, which was already cultivated in ancient times. From this high-yielding vine, several clones were gradually bred, which is why, contrary to all assumptions, Lambrusco does not refer to a single grape, but to an entire family tree of 60 different grape varieties.
Lambrusco is not just Lambrusco
With dozens of grape clones and six different areas of origin – grouped around the cities of Modena and Reggio Emilia, as well as other growing zones in the vicinity of Mantua and Parma – there are over ten different styles of Lambrusco. One of the three most popular is the raspberry-fruity, acidic Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC, which is produced north of Modena from the variety of the same name. Far more intense is the juicy Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC, which also comes from the Modena region, but is stronger in colour and clearly more tannic. This sweet-fruity wine style is mainly produced from the Lambrusco Grasparossa grape clone. The third in the group is the Reggiano Lambrusco DOC from various varieties of the Lambrusco family, among which the Lambrusco Salamino clone predominates. These deep red Reggiano DOC wines with wonderful blackberry aromas and fine bitter nuances come from the wide province of Reggio Emilia.
From everyday wine to festive wine
The versatile red wine impresses with a colour palette that can range from a delicate light pink (as Rosé or Blanc de Noir) to a dark violet. Lambrusco is also available in dry or residual sweet form. The subtle to sweet wines can be recognised by the label designations semisecco, abboccato, amabile and dolce and should not be confused with the inferior headache version of yesteryear. Grandiose food companions are undoubtedly the dry Lambrusco creations, still far too unknown abroad, whose label bears the inscription secco. The range of styles of this red wine with moderate alcohol content also goes back to different production processes: In the popular tank fermentation method, the Lambrusco ferments in closed pressure vessels from which the resulting carbonic acid cannot escape. In Italy, the process is called Metodo Martinotti or Metodo Charmat, which produces fresh, fruity, sparkling wines with the label frizzante. Fortunately, Lambrusco is also increasingly being produced as an elegant sparkling wine. For this, many winemakers use the ancient Méthode Ancestrale or the elaborate bottle fermentation method from Champagne; in Italian, Metodo Classico. In contrast to the less expensive sparkling wines, such Lambrusco sparkling wines have a complex, creamy mouthfeel with fine perlage, which one would otherwise only expect from a top Franciacorta. Due to the increased bottle pressure, such Lambrusco wines often come with a traditional sparkling wine stopper. So you should definitely put this red wine in the fridge before enjoying it, especially as it undoubtedly tastes best when chilled.
Thanks to improved technologies and the realisation that quality comes before quantity, sparkling wine producers such as Cantina della Volta and small and large wineries such as Paltrinieri and Medici Ermete have certainly turned the cheap, red drink into a first-class festive wine. With our Lambrusco range full of noteworthy sparkling and semi-sparkling wines, you'll find that it's definitely worth toasting with a glass of this sparkling red again – Salute! SUPERIORE.DE
