2023 Il Folicello Lambrusco Rosso

100% certified organic Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro. Hand picked and refermented in the bottle with native yeasts only. Not fined, filtered, or disgorged.  11% alcohol. Very minimal (20ppm) sulphur. This dry, savory and fruity red wine is slightly effervescent and should be served chilled. It pours a dark purple color with a pink frothy head and shows off wild aromas of cherry, pomegranate, blackberry, black cherry, dried herbs and chai tea. Light to medium bodied, with buoyant acidity and just the slightest bit of tannic astringency. A perfect pizza and charcuterie wine.  Antonella and Marco, the couple behind this winery, purchased the property in Castelfranco Emilia near Modena in 1980 as a fun side project, to make wines for personal enjoyment and to share with friends. Today, their two daughters Federica and Irene have joined the team and the modest estate features a modern cellar designed for efficient grape vinification.
