Lambrusco

This sparkling wine is named after the minimum 36 months of bottle fermentation it has to undergo. The result is impressive: light ruby red with garnet reflections. Sour cherry, blackcurrant and wild rose on the nose, rounded off with candied cherry and traces of light smoke. On the palate, it is powerful, complex, round and creamy in texture, with well-dosed candied fruit, juicy, clear and with a full-bodied, long finish. Trentasei combines the tradition of the region with a visionary reinterpretation of a Sorbara sparkling wine that remains in the memory even after the bottle has been emptied far too quickly.

"Delicate cherry red with pink reflections. The nose has hints of wild berries and caramelised rhubarb. Some marzipan and white pepper on the finish. Surprisingly sweet and fruity on the palate with lively acidity. Great fun." Falstaff

"In a delightful strawberry-red hue, this wine exudes wild raspberry aromas, hints of dried leaves, and warmed rosebud jam. Its light and zippy palate offers crushed currant and sour cherry flavors, culminating in an intriguing savory finish that lingers and requests a board of salumi or cured meat." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2015 Brut Metodo Classico Lambrusco di Sorbara Trentasei is a deep translucent red with a seductive bouquet that blends sweet spices with violet florals and wild strawberries. It’s soothingly round with a silken bead of fine bubbles and crisp orchard fruits, as hints of candied citrus add lovely contrast toward the close. The 2015 tapers off on a note of refinement, classically dry and crisp, as the slight hint of sour cherry slowly fades. This is next-level Lambrusco." Vinous

Here is one of the most serious and at the same time most exciting sparkling wines that can be made from the Sorbara variety! Pale to dusky pink in colour with a fine foam and accentuated, persistent perlage. The bouquet is almost magical and yet very distinguished, with hints of raspberry and wild strawberry, which is what makes a top-class Lambrusco, but still seems to be an unattainable goal for many local winegrowers. A fine acidity on the palate, with delicate, dry bitter notes and an exciting brightening of fruity tones of wild strawberry and pomegranate. The overall impression is bone-dry and the bottled dream of a Lambrusco produced using the champagne method, which is unrivalled in the wine landscape. SUPERIORE.DE

"A pale pink in the glass, the 2018 Rosé Lambrusco opens with a whiff of white strawberries, stems and all, followed by hints of wildflowers and spices. It opens with a tinge of sour citrus as silken bubbles soothe and tart orchard fruits cascade throughout. Nuances of raw almonds add richness over a twang of tart lime. The 2018 cleans up beautifully, full of mouth-watering tension." Vinous

A Lambrusco with almost zero (!) grams of residual sweetness seems like an insurmountable contradiction. But far from it, the Lambrusco benchmark Cantina della Volta delivers a sparkling wine here that can keep up with the best rosé champagnes of the noble region of France.

Delicate pale pink with an impressively fine perlage in the glass. In addition to the classics raspberry and wild strawberry, the bouquet opens with wonderfully floral notes that make it seem downright lovely despite its lack of sugar. On the palate, then, of indescribable finesse, creaminess and "dry sweetness", which makes us refill without much hesitation and draws us fully into the glass. La Prima Volta is a spumante with just the right balance of class, drinkability and mineral freshness, just as we would like to enjoy a sparkling wine today and tomorrow. Never too heavy, but still with an irresistible depth and far from any arbitrariness. SUPERIORE.DE
