Medici’s ‘Quercioli’ Lambrusco secco (dry) is a sparkling red wine sourced primarily from the estate’s organically farmed ‘Quercioli’ vineyard outside of the city of Reggio Emilia in Italy’s Emilia Romagna region. The yields of these estate Lambrusco vines are restricted for quality. A blend of 50% Marani and 50% Salamino, this wine captures best of both grapes. The intense aromatics and structure of Salamino are blended with the fresh acidity of Marani, making these wines perfectly balanced. The wine is best served at a temperature of 47 – 49 degrees Fahrenheit and should be consumed within two years of age.

The Medici Ermete winery is a certified sustainable winery by the Equalitas standard and the Quercioli wines are certified carbon neutral by Climate Partner.

About the Grape

Lambrusco
Well-made Lambrusco can be refreshingly dry, with a lovely fragrance of red fruit and violets, a medium-bodied palate of fresh strawberries, a gentle spritz and a slight bitter almond finish.
