Umberto Cavicchioli e Figli

About

Modena remains the center for production of quality Lambrusco. To the south of Modena, and around the town of Castelvetro—which is the most prestigious appellation for Lambrusco—are the foothills of the Apennines where sloped vineyards lay on poorer, rocky soils ideal for the Grasparossa or a “red-stemmed” variety. Wines from this variety are denser, darker, more structured and made in the dry or abboccato (off-dry) style.

Terroir

The vines trained on espaliers and using the double curtain method on soil of medium consistency in the central part of the Modena province.

Vinification

This 100% Grasparossa is sourced from vineyards located in the center of the Modena DOC area. The fruit is harvested at the end of October and sees 4-5 days skin contact. Secondary fermentation occurs in autoclave. Robanera is made in the “Abboccato” (off-dry) style.

Tasting Notes

A red and fine froth, a persistent perlage. Its colour is an intense ruby red, the perfume is of red fruits and the taste is savory, full and velvety, with a slight tannic aftertaste.

Food Pairing

The typical dishes of Romagna cuisine. Excellent with desserts and dry confectionary.
