Description
What kind of wine it is
The Lambrusco Salamino di S. Croce Dedicato ad Alfredo Molinari from Cantina di Carpi e Sorbara is a sparkling red that fully expresses the character of Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce. Made from Lambrusco Salamino grapes, it displays a deep purple-red colour and a lively and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers an intense aromatic profile with floral notes of rose, blackberry, cherry and wild berries. On the palate, it is dry, medium to full-bodied and harmonious, finishing with a clean and dry aftertaste.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Santa Croce area, in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, a region of Modena highly suited to viticulture. The territory serves as an ideal meeting point, blending the structured character of Lambrusco Grasparossa with the subtle elegance of Lambrusco di Sorbara. The vineyards cultivated by the winegrowers of Cantina di Carpi e Sorbara yield grapes with a distinct territorial identity. The deep knowledge of the Modenese soil translates into a fruity and balanced structure, creating a faithful tribute to the agricultural identity of these lands.
How it is produced
Production begins with a rigorous selection of bunches, through manual night harvesting to preserve the freshness and integrity of the berries. The prise de mousse takes place in an autoclave following the Charmat Method, an ideal technique to enhance the vinous component and highlight the brilliance of the bubbles. Served chilled, this Lambrusco proves to be an excellent companion at the table, capable of enhancing Emilian cuisine, cured meats and fresh cheeses thanks to its innate ability to refresh the palate.
