Description
What kind of wine it is
This sparkling wine expresses the vibrant soul of the Lambrusco di Sorbara grape variety. In the glass, it reveals a brilliant rosé colour, enhanced by an exuberant froth with subtle violet hues. The bouquet combines intense fruity notes of cherry and strawberry with elegant floral hints of violet. On the palate, it is immediately broad and enveloping, supported by a pronounced acidity that ensures excellent drinkability. A pleasant savoury finish rounds off the tasting, making it the ideal companion for the bold flavours of Emilian cuisine.
Where it comes from
Production originates in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, in the Modena area, within the renowned Lambrusco di Sorbara zone. The grapes ripen in the historic Vigna del Cristo plot, a vineyard lovingly tended by Cavicchioli. The cultivation area stretches between the Panaro and Secchia rivers, characterised by alluvial sandy soils. This specific geological composition enhances the clarity of the aromas and accentuates the distinctive and vibrant acidic tension typical of the region.
How it is produced
The process begins with a meticulous manual harvest, followed by gentle pressing to preserve the aromatic purity of the fruit. The secondary fermentation takes place in a pressurised tank using the Charmat Method, a technical choice ideal for enhancing the floral components and achieving the luminous rosé hue. Finally, the wine undergoes an eight-month maturation that consolidates its structure, harmonising the natural freshness with a dry and elegant flavour profile.
History and Curiosities
Created in 1987 to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the historic Cavicchioli family winery, founded in 1928, Vigna del Cristo embodies the true essence of Emilia. This sparkling wine takes its name from an exclusive five-hectare vineyard located in Sorbara, the birthplace of a fascinating and ancient native grape variety. Highly acclaimed by critics, this prestigious Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC enhances convivial moments, offering the palate a vibrant freshness that elegantly pays tribute to the region's deep winemaking tradition.
