Solo Reggiano Rosso DOC 2018
Trade Tools
Italy / Reggio Emilia
Solo is a sparkling dry red wine made using natural fermentation. Grapes come exclusively from the acclaimed Tenuta I Qurecioli vineyards, within the province of Reggio Emilia. Vines are grown in clay soil using Cordone Speronato (cordon trained and spur pruned) with restricted yields. The blend is 51% Ancellota and 49% Lambrusco Salamino. The wine is best served at a temperature of 57 to 59 degrees Fahrenheit and should be consumed within two years of vintage.
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.
