"The 2019 ‘Saldalama’ Rosso Frizzante is a chameleon-like Emilian bubbly, not quite light enough to truly be considered rosato, not quite dark enough to nudge into the realms of a true Lambrusco-style wine. Dominant to Lambrusco Grasparossa, likely one of the most inky, sanguine, and savory of all the Lambrusco sub-types, the Saldalma is lifted high on the addition of brighter streaks of Lambrusco di Sorbara and Trebbiano Modenese, a local clone of the ubiquitous central Italian white variety.
Harvested, fermented, and raised separately (all of this occurring in stainless tanks), the three varieties are brought together under the crescent moon in late May of the following year, spurred into a secondary fermentation in bottle with the addition of sweet grape must.
Strawberry gastrique, rose hips, beef tartare, fir, damp forest, wet rocks… all of this carried on a wave of crisp, dry, spice-riddled fizz."
– Biondivino
"We produce unfiltered “sur-lie” bottle fermented sparkling wines from 6.5 hectares of vineyards sitting in the hills south of Modena and we are driven by a deep respect for nature, tradition and sustainability. We tend 3 Lambrusco varieties, Uva Tosca and 2 very local Trebbiano. Since the beginning we have chosen the Biodynamic way, in order to achive the highest possible quality in our grapes. Cellar work consists of leading grapes from juice to wine with the smallest intervention."
