Organic/biodynamic rosé Lambrusco from Emilia, re-fermented in bottle with its own must. 100% Lambrusco Salamino from 15-year-old Guyot-trained vines on sandy-loam soils. Hand-harvested, destemmed, gentle press, free-run juice only. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, 6 months in cement, then bottle refermentation. Unfined, unfiltered, minimal sulphur (~30mg/l). Proper farmhouse fizz - crown cap, sediment, and all. 12% ABV. About 10,000 bottles annually.
Ratings
Soaked peaches, pickles, elderflower, and loads of seawater. Lime. Bergamot. Some bread notes. Thyme. Super salty on the palate, quite fizzy (yes, it's sparkling) with sharp bubbles that aren't persistent - they disappear quickly. Not very long finish, almost no fruit. Super acidic in the finale. Cool and stylish wine, though not very friendly. Bitter as life itself.
