Terroir: The vineyard is in S. Cesareo sul Panaro (Grasparossa), in what the local people call "La Bassa" (the "Lowland"). The average vine age is 25 years old.
The land is farmed organically with low intervention and traditional methods.
The vines are trained tall in order to avoid humidity, mold and wild animals.

the area (one of the highest in the world). -

Aging: The wine then ages in the bottle for 3-4 months before it is ready to drink.
- Tasting Note: Herbal and ripe, this darkly tinted Lambrusco is heavy with richly deep notes of wild blackberry, cassis, bay laurel and fresh thyme. It's juicy and ripe attach finished with a hint of tannic grip and a long earthy finish. Perfect for pairing with Salumi or a spicy pasta.
