ALFREDO BERTOLANI ROSSO ALL'ANTICA LAMBRUSCO NV

The Bertolani winery was established in Scandiano in 1925 by Alfredo Bertolani, supported by his passion for grapes and by the knowledge of this territory from his background as a grape broker. Today, the winery remains family-owned by the fourth generation, and their respect of the area’s terroir and careful wine making processes produce Lambrusco of great quality.

The vineyards of Scandiano in the hillsides of the Reggio Emilia province yield a unique Lambrusco grape. The older and steeper land brings out the harmony and sparkling spirit of the grapes to create wines with strong character and defined structure. Fruity, but very dry, there are notes of blueberry, plum, and violet, with licorice on the finish - a great pairing for harder cheeses like grana padano, stuffed pastas like cannelloni with spinach and ricotta, or raspberries and dark chocolate.

Longer maceration than other Lambruscos, for about 7 days at 18-20° C, to better extract the tannins and the color. Fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Charmat winemaking method with selected yeast. Isobaric sterile bottling with pre-evacuation and wine microfiltration.
