Tasting Notes
This is pretty "out there"! A blend of 90% Barbera and 10% Croatina from the Parma Hills in Emilia-Romagna (Italy). A rich and intense fruit profile followed by a very savoury, tart and tannic back palate. This is a mouthful that requires adequate food to bring it's greatest feature to the forefront - it's structure. Organically grown and naturally made. Bold, structured. Recommend serving it with meat dishes high in fat - Chris L
Emilia-Romagna is home to some of Italy's most loved wines, Lambrusco chief among them, and turns out a whole spread of whites and reds to match the region's rich culinary tradition. It stretches around 240km across the middle of the country, tucked between Tuscany to the south, Lombardy and Veneto to the north and the Adriatic Sea to the east.
Rolling hills and Apennine peaks in the west give way to the lower plains around Parma, Modena and Bologna, while the river Po runs west to east along the northern border, moderating temperatures and sending cooling breezes across the vineyards nearby. The main grapes here are Malvasia, Lambrusco, Trebbiano, Bonarda, Barbera and Sangiovese.
