Lambrusco Grasparossa Secco ‘Linea Tradizione’ D.O.P. 75cl CANTINA SETTECANI

The Lambrusco Grasparossa Secco D.O.P. from Cantina Settecani is a remarkable offering that embodies the rich traditions of the Castelvetro hills. This wine is part of the Linea Tradizione Settecani, which draws inspiration from local legends, including the tale of a priest who transformed seven men into dogs for their foul language - an homage to the name "Settecani," meaning "Seven Dogs." Crafted from 100% Lambrusco Grasparossa grapes, this dry red sparkling wine exhibits a deep ruby red colour with enchanting violet hues. The vinification process utilises controlled temperature fermentation through the Charmat/Martinotti method, ensuring the preservation of the wine’s vibrant character and intense fruity aromas. With an alcohol content of 10.5%, the Lambrusco Grasparossa Secco presents a good and persistent body that is pleasantly velvety and enveloping. This wine has garnered significant acclaim, earning a gold medal at Gilbert & Gaillard 2024 and 93 points from Wine Enthusiast, also being recognised as an Editor's Choice. Best enjoyed at a service temperature of 10-12°C, this versatile wine pairs beautifully with a variety of hearty Italian dishes, making it an excellent choice for both first and second courses. Whether savouring its rich history or indulging in its delightful flavour profile, this Lambrusco is a true celebration of Italian heritage.
