Albinea Canali
Albinea Canali Lambrusco Ottocentonero NV
About
There is a product in the Albinea Canali range that revolutionizes the Lambrusco paradigms. It is a wine with a unique and original soul, with an unmistakable style and design, which breaks the mould of tradition, while being firmly rooted in it. It’s Ottocentonero. A Lambrusco that goes beyond the borders of Emilia to conquer national and international dining tables with its modern and distinctive character.
Terroir
Rich in italian tradition, the name ‘Ottocento’ evokes Italy’s romanticism toward the 1800s. The word for black, ‘nero,’ is a reference to the wine’s nearly opaque deep purple hues. From the Canali family, one of Italy’s leading producers of sparkling wines, this product combines the flavor of a dry Lambrusco with the full sparkle. This sparkling wine is made from Lambrusco and Lancellotta grapes grown in the Canali vineyards in Emilia-Romagna.
Vinification
The pressing of the grapes is followed by a maceration at low temperature (12-15°C) for 3-4 days in order to extract the color and enhance the typical fruit-forward characters of Lambrusco. After racking, the juice completes its fermentation in pressurized temperature controlled vats to develop its natural sparkle.
Tasting Notes
Dark ruby color with intense purplish undertones. Enveloping and fruity bouquet with blackberries, wild strawberries accompanied by a trace of sweet violet and slight hints of underwood. Lively, full, clean palate, characterized by a pleasant fruity freshness and a slightly tannic, well-balanced structure.
Food Pairing
The character and style of Ottocentonero pair perfectly with traditional first courses based on fresh and stued pasta, such as green lasagna and pumpkin tortelli with meat sauce, but they also express all their potential in innovative cuisine. Abundant personality when paired with meat main courses such as roasts and grilled meat. Ottocentonero is also amazing in mixology, blending harmoniously with bitters and vermouth for a cocktail that leaves its mark.
