Trade Tools
Italy / Reggio Emilia
Concerto is the world’s first single vineyard vintage Lambrusco. A sparkling dry red wine, its lively bubbles are achieved through natural fermentation. Grapes from the prestigious Tenuta La Rampata vineyard are farmed organically on Cordone Speronato (cordon trained and spur pruned) vines in clay soil with highly limited yields. The wine is best served at a temperature of 47 to 49 degrees Fahrenheit and should be consumed within two years of vintage.

Harvest Note
2021 was a tumultuous year. An early spring was plagued by late frosts, causing some reduction in yields throughout the region. Luckily the Lambrusco Salamino grapes, grown in Medici Estate's Tenuta La Rampata vineyard, were some of the least affected by the spring frost. A rainy spring slowed into a hot, dry summer with very cool nights, which allowed plenty of time for excellent and very healthy grape maturation. The Lambrusco Salamino grapes were harvested later than usual due to the dry summer and yields were slightly below average yields. The resulting wines are very concentrated, with an intense aromatic profile. The quality of the land and biodiversity is very high, the grapes are healthy and the organically farmed vineyard is thriving.
Tasting Note
Intensely brilliant and pure in both its ruby red color and aromatics, the wine shows a fresh strawberry, raspberry and cherry character. On the palate, dry yet fruity, round, fresh and lively notes are delectably harmonious. Acidity and tannins are perfectly balanced and the finish is clean.

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.
