Lambrusco di Sorbara Brut

Sparkling, Wines

Silvia Zucchi makes wine on the same stretch of land her family has farmed since the 1950s, along the banks of the Secchia and Panaro rivers north of Modena — the historic heart of Lambrusco di Sorbara. A Conegliano-trained winemaker and the third generation of her family, she built this cuvée entirely from Lambrusco di Sorbara, hand-harvested in mid-September for the acidity and freshness the variety is prized for. Fermented sparkling by the Charmat method, it pours a limpid ruby red of medium intensity, its bouquet close-knit and vivid with red fruit, violet and rose. On the palate, fine bubbles carry excellent harmony between acidity and gentle tannin, giving the wine real body beneath its light, playful frame.
