The Story
A magnificent Central Italian sparkling red wine displaying a dark, saturated ruby red color enhanced by lively, small shimmering bubbles. Masterfully envisioned by Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey and Chef Lachlan Patterson, this modern expression packages the historic sparkling aperitivo tradition of Emilia-Romagna into a casual, shareable format. Produced via the traditional Charmat method in temperature-controlled stainless steel, it opens with a soaring, highly aromatic bouquet of wild red currants, fresh bramble strawberries, and crushed hibiscus. The expressive nose is layered with deep regional indicators of purple plums, black raspberries, and pomegranates. On the palate, it balances an energetic, light-to-medium-bodied dark fruit core and a vibrant, linear alpine acidity with a gentle kiss of natural sweetness, finishing on a wonderfully crisp, bone-dry, and appetizingly tart note.
Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with aged cheeses, traditional Prosciutto di Parma, wood-fired pizzas, rich lasagna, or fatty salumi.
