Lambrusco has an image problem. Not because it is bad – but because the wrong version of it has travelled the world for decades: sweet, arbitrary, free with pizza. However, anyone who knows that Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC is one of the most fascinating red wine appellations in Italy – aromatic, light-footed, with an acidity structure that makes Bordeaux look old –who opens this bottle with completely different expectations. 100% Lambrusco di Sorbara from the Vigneto Sozzigalli, 100 hectares of its own vineyards, carefully selected. Short maceration, slow pinch de mousse in a closed fermentation tank using the Charmat method. No compromise at the wrong end.
Deep, bright rose pink colour. On the nose strawberry, violet, forest fruit – fresh, inviting, precise. Dry on the palate, mineral, with juicy acidity and a long, invigorating finish. A wine that shows what Lambrusco can really do – if you let it. SUPERIORE.DE
