  September 9, 2023 - 100% Lambrusco di Sorbara. Vinified using the Charmat method, aged for 4 months on the lees in pressurized tanks. 11% alcohol, 6 g/l residual sugar and 8,0 g/l acidity.
  
  Youthful, luminous rosé color with a salmon-pink hue. The primary nose feels sweetly-fruited and mulchy-earthy both at the same time with aromas of raspberry jellies and candied red fruits, some earthy notes, a little bit of stemmy character, light spicy notes and a hint of dried mushroom. The wine feels youthful, dry-ish and pretty crunchy on the palate with a light-to-medium body and flavors of fresh redcurrants and tart cranberries, some candied primary fruit notes of raspberry jelly and strawberry candies, a little bit of mulchy and earthy character, light stony mineral notes, a hint of sour cherry bitterness and a faint touch of bitter almond. The wine is high in acidity with no tannins to speak of. The finish is crisp, dry and very subtly grippy with a moderately long aftertaste of brambly raspberries and wild strawberries, some earthy tones, light tart notes of cranberries, a little bit of stony minerality, a primary hint of fruit jellies and a balancing touch of sour cherry bitterness.
  
  A fun, crunchy and balanced Lambrusco with a somewhat earthy or mulchy character that seems typical of some dry Lambruscos. This is not as tough and austere as some deeper, darker-red dry Lambruscos, but I guess the style here is supposed to be more like a sparkling rosé, not a frizzante red wine. Very enjoyable both as a food wine and simply drunk on its own. Priced somewhat according to its quality at 14,99€.
