A slightly-sparkling red wine, which showcases red fruit aromas combined with hints of violet. Fresh on the palate with a rich harmonious body and crisp raspberry and blackcurrant flavours on the delicate finish.

The grapes were fermented under temperature controlled conditions with selected yeasts, with traditional maceration lasting three to four days. This Lambrusco was made according to the Charmat method or 'Metodo Italiano', where the secondary fermentation took place in tank to obtain the sparkling wine. When the secondary fermentation was complete, the wine was gently filtered and bottled to retain freshness and the purity of fruit.
