Description
What type of wine it is
Lambrusco Sant’Agata Paltrinieri is a dry and organic sparkling red wine with a Controlled Designation of Origin from Emilia-Romagna, a faithful expression of the Lambrusco di Sorbara grape variety. In the glass, it displays a pale ruby colour, with a fine perlage and a creamy mousse, while the olfactory profile offers clear notes of forest fruits and a typical scent of violets. On the palate, it is smooth and dynamic, led by a refreshing acidity that introduces a savoury finish with a slight herbaceous nuance. Made sparkling using the Martinotti method, it maintains a lively and immediate style, ideal as an aperitif or paired with local cured meats, pizza, and fried foods.
Where it comes from
The soul of this wine lies in Emilia-Romagna, in the province of Modena, in the historic Sorbara area. The vines are organically grown in the Cristo vineyard, between the Secchia and Panaro rivers. The loose soils, composed of silt and sand, offer a cool environment, essential for giving the wine gustatory agility and a taut structure. The agronomic management relies on the double curtain system to maintain balanced yields. This care enhances the authentic identity of Lambrusco di Sorbara, reflecting the vocation of a territory tended by the Paltrinieri family since 1926.
How it is produced
The harvest takes place in mid-September, followed by a soft pressing to extract the most delicate musts. Fermentation is managed with precision to preserve the fruity aromas, while the sparkling process is completed in stainless steel autoclaves. The result is a totally dry wine free of residual sugars, with a solid structural balance. While it is excellent to enjoy young and without the need for decanting, it possesses an interesting ageing potential that allows it to evolve with elegance for several years.
