"Marcello" Lambrusco Spumante Emilia Millesimato IGT

It is easy to say Lambrusco. This, in fact, more than a grape variety is an endless family of different grapes, all derived from the wild varieties that the ancient Latins called 'Labrusca vitis'. With the Maestri variety, in particular, Ariola obtains many of its good Lambrusco wines, endowed with character and personality. Compared to other varieties, in fact, this Maestri is even richer in colour and fragrance, with a nice natural acidity and clear tannin. Lambrusco Maestri in purity also gives birth to this Lambrusco Spumante Marcello 'Millesimato', characterised by a beautiful, very intense ruby red colour with violet hues. As soon as it is uncorked and poured into glasses, it is covered with a dense, soft and evanescent mousse. The nose recalls the most typical varietal notes, with clear hints of ripe red fruit, with marasca cherries and wild berries above all. Then notes of flowers and a pleasantly vegetal finish. The same sensations on the palate, where, however, one discovers a very well-balanced sparkling wine, with acidity and tannin well balanced by intense, ripe fruit. It is difficult to suggest the right pairing for a wine like this. Its versatility makes it suitable for a thousand combinations. But if we want to respect tradition, a gnocco fritto with some good cured meats is literally 'the death of it'.
