For this wine, the single vineyard is located in the heart of the Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro denomination, where this member of the Lambrusco family has been cultivated since time immemorial. The wine is made through a single fermentation under pressure, rather than the normal two-fermentation process of almost all other sparkling wines. This is in the brut range, with a slight sweetness detectable. Vigneto Cialdini is the name of the vineyard, dedicated to Enrico Cialdini, who was a famous general during the unification of Italy.
The bouquet is defined by dusty rose and crushed blackberries. It floods the palate with masses of finely etched bubbles and tart red and blue fruits. A subtle tinge of clove beneath violet inner florals lingers, finishing with lovely length and balance. —E.G.
Here's What We Thought:
It’s deep, dark, and savory, bursting with black cherry, blackberry, and violets, with a salty-herbal edge and lively fizz that keeps it fresh. Dry, slightly grippy, and incredibly food-friendly — the kind of wine that bridges rustic Italian comfort food and modern, chill-red energy. It's absolute magic with pizza, prosciutto, mortadella, burgers, or anything indulgent. Chill it, pop it, and watch skeptics convert. 🍕🍷
