2022 Koi 'Lambroosklyn' Emilia Lambrusco Rosso Frizzante IGP, Emilia-Romagna, Italy

$26.00

Certified Organic, Practicing Biodynamic. 100% Lambrusco Grasparossa. Taken from a single 1ha vineyard of 60 year-old vines. The vines are trellised in an old Bolognese fashion called 'Bellussi,' where grapes are harvested from 6.5 feet high. Grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed. Three days of skin contact fermentation with indigenous yeast, no temperature control. After the three days, the wine is racked. In spring, fresh juice is added (5%) and the wine is bottled to become frizzante; secondary fermentation takes place in bottle. Undisgorged. Unfined, unfiltered, zero SO2. Perhaps the more rustic and ruddy of winemaker Flavio Restani’s wines; his focus is on the more traditional white sparklings of the area, but we like the picnic-friendly, dark-toned, slightly tannic iteration of his Grasparossa, too.
