In the glass
Colour
Dark, dense purple with blue highlights, subtle traces of cloudiness and a rapidly foaming mousseux.
Nose
Wild and Mediterranean with nuances of warm leather, pepper and liquorice, underpinned by fresh herbs such as sage, eucalyptus and rosemary alongside rich berry notes of cassis, blackberry and mulberry.
Palate
Cool elegance and a silky mouthfeel meet an invigorating, restrained perlage; dense in spice, slender in fruit and with an immense drinkability.
Character
An authentic, unfined natural wine full of character and rough edges – immensely vibrant, spicy and demanding on the palate.
Pairing
Excellent with paper-thinly sliced mortadella, aged Parmigiano Reggiano or hearty cured meats from Emilia.
Notes
Spontaneously fermented natural wine without fining, filtration or added sulphites; the second fermentation in the bottle is traditionally initiated using the estate's own chilled must.
Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Dark, dense purple with a slightly hazy hue and a rapidly frothing mousseux revealing blue reflections.
Nose
Wild, masculine and captivating: the aroma opens with warm leather, followed by ethereal herbal spice of rosemary, sage and eucalyptus. These are joined by liquorice, juniper and roasted hazelnuts, underpinned by rich berry fruit such as cassis, blackberry and mulberry.
Palate
Surprisingly cool and silky on the palate. The subtle mousseux delivers an immensely invigorating freshness and tremendous drinkability. The dark fruit presents itself in a lean style, while the balsamic spice takes the lead – sophisticated pleasure without weight.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes originate from a Pliocene terrace at the foot of the Apennines in the hills of Reggio Emilia. The soils of clay, sand and silt with a high silicate content impart a mineral freshness to this Lambrusco.
Grape Variety & Vinification
A cuvée primarily composed of Lambrusco Grasparossa (75–80%), complemented by Malbo Gentile and Marzemino. Vanni Nizzoli works according to organic principles, relying on spontaneous fermentation with no fining or filtration. The second fermentation takes place traditionally in the bottle using his own chilled must.
Food Pairings
Outstanding with Emilia-Romagna classics such as wafer-thinly sliced Mortadella, aged Parmigiano Reggiano or hearty charcuterie specialties.
Special Features
An honest, natural Frizzante with a total sulphur content of less than 10 mg/L. Bottled according to the old proverb “Luna Calante, Vino Spumante” during a waning moon – miles removed from industrial mass-produced wines.
