Ca De Medici

Varietal: Lambrusco Maestri, Marani, Montericco, and Salamino.

Alcohol: 11%

Volume: 750ml

Description: After the grapes are pressed, they are transferred to fermentation tanks where the mosto is racked off in an average of 70 hours. The wine then completes its first rapid fermentation process and passes to the slower phase, during which time it is racked off several times to improve its clarity. The wine is placed in an autoclave at strictly controlled temperatures wherein it undergoes a second fermentation. This is known as the Charmat Method. The temperature is controlled for full development of the bouquet and for the lively and natural sparkle so characteristic of this wine.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with prosciutto crudo, salami and mortadella. 

Varietal: Lambrusco Maestri, Marani, Montericco, and Salamino

Alcohol: 11%

Volume: 750ml

Description: Inky purple in color (flecked with crimson in the foam), it has pronounced aromas of violets,
strawberries, fresh plums, and black cherries. Fuller-bodied and higher in alcohol than other
Lambrusco wines, it is also more tannic.  Grasparossa has the highest tannin count of the Lambrusco
varieties.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with appetizers like prosciutto-melone, mozzarella, simple light pizza like margherita, empanadas, gnocco fritto.

Varietal: Lambrusco Maestri, Marani, Montericco, and Salamino

Alcohol: 11%

Volume: 750ml

Description:  Lambrusco di Sorbara is the lightest in color of the five DOC wines offering an evanescent sparkle
and distinctive bouquet reminiscent of violets. Well-balanced, delicate fruit flavors are supported by a
backbone of bright acidity with a strong underlying minerality. It’s refreshing and vibrant character
means it is best consumed young.  Grasparossa is the most tannic of the varietals.

Food Pairing:  Pairs well with richly sauced pasta with bechamel, like lasagna, vincisgrassi and cannelloni.

Varietal: Lambrusco Maestri, Marani, Montericco, and Salamino

Alcohol: 7.5%

Volume: 750ml

Description:  Though classified as Dolce (sweet), it possesses just a hint of sweetness, reminiscent of strawberry and
wildflowers. The froth is rosy, very abundant and continually developing, and it is finer and less
carbonated than other sparkling wines due to the fact that lower atmospheres of pressure are used in
the process. With its 7.5% alcohol content, the Lambrusco Cubista is purplish with hints of rose in color. It
is exuberant in freshness and fruit quality, and is refreshing and delightful for every occasion.  It’s made from the same varietals as the red, but vinified without maceration so the wine is slightly “frizzante” with a hint of floral character in the nose.

Food Pairing:  This light refreshing wine goes well with salads and grilled vegetables.

Varietal: Malvasia

Alcohol: 5%

Volume: 750ml

Description:  Made entirely from Malvasia grapes, this wine presents a wonderful flowery bouquet in the nose,
reminiscent of orange-blossom and honeysuckle. It is fragrant, delicate and only reaches 5% alcoholic
content. This wine has a good acid structure that cleans the palate. On the finish, it leaves the mouth
with a sensation of sweetness, but not a syrupy, coating effect. It is a delightful wine by itself; also an
aperitif.

Food Pairing: Enjoy with biscotti, sweet bread loafs with candid fruits, dried fruits or almonds like Panettone, Colomba Pasquale and Pandoro with vanilla custard.
