Pizzini Lambrusco

Lightly sparking and ruby red in colour, our Lambrusco Salamino is soft, approachable and beautifully balanced. On the palate the wine is fresh and dry with an explosion of textural notes that recalls the bottle fermentation techniques used. A drink anywhere, anytime style. Not too sweet and not too dry.

The cool temperature and incessant rain kept us on our toes. However, there is always a sliver lining . The cool vintage delivered us near optimal ripening conditions with daily temperatures above 15 degrees celcius before 9am and not rising above 30 degrees until late afternoon. Perfect for maximum flavour and colour development and as a result both red and whites are of exceptional quality.

Vinification: Using the premier Lambrusco Salamino clone, grapes were handpicked and then crushed into an open fermenter. The skins stayed in contact with the juice for 2 days before pressing. Long enough to enhance flavour and colour in the wine. After pressing, the juice continued to ferment at low temperatures to retain freshness and fruit flavours before being prepared for traditional bottle fermentation to finish.
