TASTING NOTES
A Lambrusco that is less exuberant summer berry fruit and more subtle, under-ripe red fruit flavours such as rhubarb with watermelon and grapefruit. Elegant, dry with cutting acidity and minerality.
The lariserva is the most elegant of Lambruscos we've ever had...

The Sorbara grape is the thinnest skinned of the Lambrusco grape varieties typically providing rosé wines with a more savoury and elegant fruit profile. The fruit is a little more nuanced and subtle in this wine with a sense of minerality providing a taut mouthful.
The ‘Cristo’ di Sorbara is a vineyard of 15 hectares in a narrow strip of land between the Secchia and Panaro rivers that run through the province of Modena. the soil is loose, mostly silty and sandy, with good presence of organic substances.
The free-run juice is gently pressed, vinified and then refermented to sparkling wine using the Martinotti method before resting on the lees for 12 months.
Paltrinieri is one of the masters of Lambrusco producing wines with the family making wines in the Sorbara area since the early 1900s. They have contributed greatly to the qualitative growth of the area's wines, with labels that express the best qualities of this ancient native vine.
