The Story
I come from the flat, fertile plains just outside Modena, where Lambrusco has long been part of everyday life. At Paltrinieri, tradition is honored with precision — careful vineyard work, gentle pressing, and a focus on expressing the delicate, floral nature of the Sorbara clone. Unlike heavier styles, I’m made to be light, fragrant, and refreshing, capturing the true elegance of Lambrusco. I’m a wine rooted in culture and conviviality, meant to be shared around a bustling table.
Why You’ll Love Me
I open with lively aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and rose petals. My fine, persistent bubbles carry a bright acidity that keeps me fresh and vibrant, while my delicate fruit remains crisp and lifted. On the palate, I’m light on my feet yet full of personality, finishing clean and dry with a subtle floral note. I’m playful but refined — a sparkling red that brings energy, charm, and a sense of occasion to even the simplest meal.
