Vinification of Lambrusco

Lambrusco is grown in sun-drenched Emilia-Romagna, an area with optimal conditions for this grape variety. The vines produce ripe grapes that are carefully harvested to preserve their fruity properties. Harvesting is mostly done by hand to ensure the quality of the berries. For the production of this semi-sparkling wine, the grapes are processed separately to achieve a clear single-varietal structure. Fermentation takes place in a controlled manner at low temperatures in order to retain the fresh fruit aromas. The sparkling effect is achieved through a second fermentation in pressure tanks, which underscores the character of the wine and creates lively carbon dioxide. This is followed by maturation in stainless steel tanks, which emphasizes the fruity and sweet style. The addition of sulfur dioxide and sulfites ensures the necessary shelf life without impairing the taste. In this way, Cantine Riunite & CIV S.C.Agr., based in Campegine, produces a Lambrusco that perfectly combines tradition and modern technology.
