2020 ALBONE – LAMBRUSCO

ORIGIN | Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy

GRAPE |  Lambrusco Salamino

ABOUT THE WINEMAKER | Brother-in-law winemakers Gian Paolo and Marcello, who started the tiny Podere il Salecito estate in the classic Lambrusco area near Modena, work only with indigenous varietals like the traditional Lambrusco Salamino grape. This ‘Albone ‘is everything you search for in a Lambrusco, it’s dry, luscious purply, chewy earth.

TASTING NOTES | With Lambrusco’s famous acidity and tartness, this is the wine you want with pizza, salumi, cheese or fried bits, as it’ll cut through all that fat and clean your palate.  Chill like a white wine and enjoy nice and cold!

WINEMAKER NOTES | Organic farming, 50 year-old vines on sandy soils; primary fermentation in stainless steel, secondary fermentation in bottle with must from original harvest; minimal added sulfur and no filtering or fining; 300 cases; 12.5% ABV
