“BIANCO” Frizzante dell’Emilia IGT 2022 secco
Rare cuvée of white vinified Sorbara and Trebbiano. Delicate floral fragrance, violets, pears and citrus notes, bold and fresh. Delicately creamy on the palate, fills the palate wonderfully, pears and citrus again, really prances over the tongue with fine perlage and lasts quite long with good freshness. Fine as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to fish starters. SUPERIORE.DE

“PIRIA” Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2022 secco
Light ruby red colour. A small fruit basket with red berries and cherries on the nose, delicately floral with violets. Quite full-bodied, very dry with fine fruit and extremely fine sparkling mousseux, lingers for a long time, very finely balanced. The winery recommended it with tortellini in brodo - we can only agree, a perfect match. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright cherry pink colour. A little restrained on the nose, marzipan and cherries, needs time in the glass. Arrow-sharp on the palate, straightforward, precise, shows racy acidity and perlage, with crisp fruit, simply great!" Falstaff
"Imagine taking a perfect apple, distilling that aroma then adding lily and rose. These are the aromas of this wine. Light and fresh on the palate with a delicate perlage, the wine shows flavors of mixed citrus, tart strawberry and a flinty minerality on the finish." Wine Enthusiast

“SANT’AGATA” Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2022 secco (BIO)
Ruby red with light violet reflections. Inviting aroma of violets, redcurrants and wild strawberries. Delicately fruity, dry and crisp on the palate with a lively acidity and fine, sparkling perlage. Brings freshness and drinking pleasure to every garden party. Goes perfectly with finger food, cold cuts, prosciutto & co. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Lambrusco di Sorbara Sant'Agata 2022 has a beautiful platinum-pink colour in the glass. It offers a bouquet of wild flowers, crushed apples and ground ginger. The palate is washed by a creamy wave of tantalising bubbles that give way to sour citrus fruits and tart stone fruits. The zesty acidity cleanses the senses as the 2022 finishes a little short but impressively." Vinous
"Organically grown, this wine showcases aromas that immediately perk up the senses: crushed cherries, watermelon candy, violets and bay leaf. The driven palate with electric acidity pops with cranberry, lemon and strawberry tops finishing with a mouthwatering salty minerality." Wine Enthusiast

“LECLISSE” Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2022 secco
A genuine Lambrusco cru from the 15-hectare "Vigna del Cristo" vineyard, which underwent a second fermentation using the Charmat method for 3 months in pressurised tanks. Salmon pink in colour. Smells of pink grapefruit and subtle hints of raspberries. Bold, fresh, lively and dry on the palate - perfect for fans of "zero dosage". Very fine perlage that lasts a long time. Lingers for a long time with fine tart fruit. Ideal as an aperitif, with mussels, oysters and cold fish starters. SUPERIORE.DE
"Delicate aromas of fresh flowers, cherries, McIntosh apple and green herbs open the nose of this elegant sparkling wine. Tart strawberries, cranberries and a hint of vanilla crème give shape to the palate as the gentle perlage acts like silk on the palate." Wine Enthusiast

“GROSSO” Metodo Classico Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2018 brut
GROSSO is a Blanc de Noirs produced in the classic Champagne method and matures for 24 months on the fine lees. Delicate pink colour and a fine, persistent perlage. Crisp bouquet of violets, citrus peel, nectarine and wild strawberry. On the palate with a nice draught, very straight after red berries. Very well balanced, it prances with fine spicy and impressive freshness into a respectable finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Brightest, shining copper with golden accents. In the bouquet red currant and wild cranberry, in addition delicate meadow herbs, slightly yeasty. In the taste again distinctly spicy, shows rich melting and winds wiry through the palate, animating in the drink, in the finish finesse-rich and slightly salty." Falstaff

A vineyard with fifteen hectares of vineyards is almost ridiculously small in Emilia-Romagna. Nevertheless, Alberto Paltrinieri and his wife Barbara decided to continue the tradition of his grandfather, who founded the company in 1926. And yet to do almost everything in a completely different way.
Nobody dared to press a pure Lambrusco in the late 1980s. Then, a little later, to go one step further and select grapes from individual vineyards, as in the French "Cru" system. The two dared to do so, bet on the extremely delicate and in need of care grape variety Sorbara, and went to almost unbelievable lengths in the slightly hilly country between the two rivers Secchia and Panaro. Working hours like in a Mosel steep slope. To produce Lambrusco. The "bubble" that had just reached the low point of his image. They were called complete nutjobs. Who wants pure Sorbara Lambrusco, and that from a single vineyard? Absurd. You can't earn anything with that.
But quality prevails after all. And so it soon rained awards all the way to the coveted three glasses, the "tre bicchieri" of the famous Italian wine guide Gambero Rosso. It also brought reputation. Not only the Paltrinieris, but the whole region around Cristo di Sorbara. And slowly the wine world at Lambrusco no longer began to think of sweet dark supermarket sparkling wine, but of light, pink and above all dry Lambrusco, just a Sorbara. Fine fruity, with fine mousseux. In different variations, from Charmat pressure tank fermentation to the "Metodo Classico" spumante in bottle fermentation, as in Champagne.
The relaunch was a success that hardly anyone would have believed in. And one of the pioneers was Paltrinieri. The portfolio ranges from Bianco with Trebbiano and white fermented Sorbara to the red Solco from the grape variety Salamino and the pure Sorbara. Lambrusco Sorbara in purezza. Forget everything you've ever heard about Lambrusco! SUPERIORE.DE
