Phermento Lambrusco di Modena Secco DOP 2018

The Phermento project came to life with its first vintage in 2016, coming from the fifth generation of the Medici Ermete family. Alessandro Medici brings a fresh look onto Lambrusco and one of the grapes that thrive there. Sorbara has grown in popularity in Emilia Romagna, with its high level of acidity and lack of tannin it lends itself to the Ancestral method of production. The Sorbara vines are 35 years old, grown Cordone Speronato (cordon trained and spur pruned) in clay soil and with restricted yields. The wine itself ferments in bottle to brut nature (zero dosage), and is capped with a crown cap. The internal pressure is 2.5 bars, making this wine frizzante. The wine is best served at a temperature of 46 - 50 degrees Fahrenheit and should be consumed within two years of vintage.
