“SOLCO” Lambrusco dell’Emilia IGT 2022 semisecco
Dark cherry red with violet reflections. Intense aroma of sweet, pickled Amarena cherries and sour cherries, with delicate herbal spice, very inviting.

Fine aperitif, but also very good as an accompaniment to hearty pasta dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

“PIRIA” Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2022 secco
Bright ruby red. In the nose a small fruit basket with red berries and cherries, delicately floral with violets. Quite full-bodied, very dry with fine fruit and extremely fine sparkling mousseux, lingers long, very finely balanced. The winery recommended it with Tortellini in Brodo - we can only agree, perfect match. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright cherry pink. A little restrained on the nose, of marzipan and cherries, needs time in the glass. On the palate, straightforward, precise, shows racy acidity and perlage, plus crisp fruit, simply great!" Falstaff

“RADICE” Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2022 secco
Out with the clichés, in with the surprise! The Paltrinieris' most famous Lambrusco growth will also fill every connoisseur with joy. 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 already convinces in the bouquet with notes of rhubarb, a fresh citrus note and some bread. The persistent, fine perlage and its drinkynature make it a racy companion to hearty, spicy antipasti, light meat dishes or simply an upbeat celebration surrounded by nature and happy people. SUPERIORE.DE
"Aromas of candied citrus, white peach, and musk melon followed by pie crust and cotton-candy. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a fine bead. Subtle flinty minerality at the end. Lively and aromatic wine." James Suckling
"The extremely elegant Lambrusco di Sorbara Radice 2022 is a pretty pink with orange highlights. It opens with a blend of orange zest, tangerine and cracked slate. A silky bead of bubbles unfolds on the palate, contrasted by a sour burst of citrus, while exotic florals 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. Enjoy it chilled for instant gratification, or let it warm slowly in a large glass with a bowl." Vinous
"A Sorbara vinified in purity never before dared, in a very relevant reading. A nose of wild strawberry and pepper leaf, with floral notes of iris, the mouthfeel is taut, savoury, with a fruity return and length." Luca Gardini

“SANT’AGATA” Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC 2022 secco (BIO)
Ruby red with light violet reflections. Inviting aroma of violets, red currants and wild strawberries.

Perfect with finger food, sandwiches, prosciutto & co. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Lambrusco di Sorbara Sant'Agata is a lovely platinum pink color in the glass. It offers a bouquet of wildflowers, crushed apples and ground ginger. It rushes the palate with a creamy wave of tantalizing bubbles, giving way to sour citrus and tart pit fruits. Zesty acidity cleanses the sense as the 2022 finishes a bit short yet impactful." Vinous

LARISERVA is a white vinified Lambrusco di Sorbara Spumante and is aged for 12 months in the Martinotti method (Charmat method) in pressure tanks on fine lees. Fine powder pink. In the delicate bouquet pretty floral notes and hints of grapefruit and rhubarb. Soft, drinkable and incredibly fresh on the palate, very elegant as it progresses and with a fine spiciness in the background. An aperitif that we appreciate very much. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright shimmering baby pink with copper reflections. Opens on nuances of tree ripe cherries, raspberry, dried rose petals and pine nuts. Hits the palate with racy acidity, very precise, punchy on the back end, pulls into the final with tension, red fruits on the final." Falstaff
"Fresh strawberry, sweet herbs, roses and smoke create an inviting display as the 2019 Lambrusco di Sorbara Lariserva opens up in the glass. This displays silky textures and a stimulating bead of fine bubbles, accentuated by brilliant acidity and tart orchard fruits. It’s savory, almost salty and buzzing with residual tension through the long, mouthwatering finale." Vinous

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
