2022 Villa Picta 'Mantovano' Lambrusco, 750ml

 100% Lambrusco Ruberti. 100% destemmed, three-four days of maceration depending on vintage, pressed in a small vertical basket press. The fruit is taken from two parcels, totaling around one hectare only, on very sandy and limestone-driven soils. Vine age between five to fifteen years. The wine ferments and settles in steel tanks throughout the winter; in spring at bottling, fresh juice/must is added to trigger refermentation (the traditional Italian rifermentato style). Unfined, unfiltered; the only SO2 added is a tiny amount in the pied de cuve used to prompt primary fermentation. This Lambrusco has delicate floral aromas, black brambly fruit, and acidity and minerality that cut like dual knives. There are only two or three others in Italy with anything like the drive and finesse of this wine. - Coeur

Full bubble, blackberry, dried strawberry and sage. This is a dry lambrusco that would be perfect for drinking on it's own or in 90 degree weather with grilled meats. - Katie
