Concerto Organic Reggiano Lambrusco DOC 2022
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
The 2022 vintage was a challenging year, Emilia Romagna faced with hailstorms in the spring and early summer. Luckily the estate vineyards at La Rampata, where Concerto is grown, managed to avoid any dammage from hail. The summer proved once again to be hot and required the family to implement targeted drip irrigation with their recycled water system to ensure the grapes would reach their full potential. The changing climate and resulting heat remains the largest problem on the estate, each year this challenges the metabolism of the grapevine. Fortunately the fall ushered in some cooler weather and rain which help the vines produce beautifully mature fruit. The Lambrusco Salamino production volume was down in 2022. While yields were low, the quality remained high, with exceptional concentrated fruit notes.
Tasting Note
Concerto Lambrusco 2022 has intense ruby color and features an explosive nose of fresh red fruits, strawberries, raspberries and cherry that we have come to recongize as the halmarks of the 2022 vintage. While the palate is concentrated and intense, it retains its classic elegance and subtle perfume and finishes fresh and 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.
