Solo is a sparkling dry red wine that is sourced exclusively from organically farmed vineyards on the Medici Ermete estate, within the province of Reggio Emilia, Italy. 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 Ancellota grape is known for its small and very dark berries, which give this wine concentrated red fruit flavors as well a sweet spice note. The Lambrusco Salamino blends perfectly with Ancellota, giving freshness and acidity. 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 2025 harvest in the Reggio Emilia area confirmed high quality standards, despite a significant reduction in yields. The weather patterns were highly favorable: a cold winter and a rainy spring ensured excellent soil water reserves. The summer, while hot, was characterized by significant diurnal temperature swings, allowing the grapes to reach optimal ripeness and rich aromatic complexity.
Tasting Note
Brilliant ruby red. Intense aromas of ripe fruit. Dry and fruit-driven on the palate, with a smooth, rounded texture balanced by freshness and lively energy, leading to a harmonious finish.
Food Pairing
Delicious with cured pork meats such as salami or mortadella or a variety of pasta dishes such as tortellini or lasagna.

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.
