Trentasei means thirty-six. This Lambrusco spends at least this many months on the lees – in the bottle, at a constant 12°C, according to the Metodo Classico. Christian Bellei is not a winemaker who takes the easy way out. The idea of vinifying Lambrusco di Sorbara according to the Metodo Classico is a conscious commitment: that this grape variety should be – delicate, acidic, with a structural elegance that makes it unique among Lambrusco clones – has the potential to deal with Champagne methodology. 100% Sorbara from the alluvial soils of Secchia, hand-picked in 15-kilogram boxes, gentle pressing, first fermentation in steel, then at least six months waiting time before bottle fermentation. Rémuage, dégorgement, dosage: 5 g/litre. Everything as in Épernay – except that the grapes come from Bomporto.

Clear, light ruby red colour with a fine, persistent perlage. Marasca cherry, ribes, wild rose on the nose, a hint of brioche from the long ageing on the lees – complex and with a freshness that is rarely expected from red sparkling wine. Vertical on the palate, creamy, juicy, with elegant acidity and a long, clean final. Lambrusco as it can be – when someone gives it the time it deserves. SUPERIORE.DE
