Harvest Note
The 2018 vintage, for the Lambrusco area, was characterized by a winter with high rainfall and a very hot summer. The quality of grapes is on average good with an increase of concentration structure. We produced wines with a good aromatic intensity, good structure and with a good acidity in spite of the hot temperature during summer time.
Tasting Note
A vivid, brilliant ruby red, the wine shows classic red fruit aromas. Though dry, the palate is fruity, round and exuberant with fine and persistent bubbles.

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.
