In 1900, besides working the fields, he also dabbled in the production of wine, transforming his small farm house into a humble winery with 8 small wooden barrels with about 50 HL of wine, that he distributed to the inns in the neighboring towns with just a small cart pulled by his hors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassion and experience: these are the characteristics that for four generations have guided Zanasi family’s wine making production in the heart of the Lambrusco Grasparossa in Castelvetro D.O.P. territory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Winery produces its wines following the tradition based on authenticity and simplicity, bringing to the table all of the genuine flavor of a generous and ancient land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrganic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWinemaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarco Uccellari\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eGrape \/ Blend\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSorbara\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEmilia-Romagna, Italy \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWinemaker's Tasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis sparkling wine from grapes Sorbara, is a rosé wine with intense, fine and persistent perlage, brilliant and crystalline. In the glass, the foam is lively and evanescent. At the nose it appears quite complex, with fruity hints, with an acidity that adds to the basic grape tones the taste-aromatic tones of red berry fruit, bilberries, raspberries; unique floral with hints of pink and purple, typical and winy. One can feel the grapes freshly pressed in the cellar. Dry lively taste, sapid, which gives a lasting sensation of freshness and balance; with great persistence and harmony. A modern wine, a wine-fruit of excellent consistency and admirable persuasiveness, its ease of drinking enveloping, with clear oenologic integrity. It is excellent as an aperitif, it is an excellent pairing to all the starters, first courses, meats and medium-aged cheeses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEvoking a picturesque forest with every tree and bush bursting forth with fruits and berries, this Lambrusco entrances.

Sourced from the farm’s old vines, Marco’s Lambrusco is harvested by hand before undergoing natural fermentation in stainless steel and carbonation via the Charmat method. Inky in the glass with a bright purple fizz, it leads with a nose of Concord grape soda, cranberry and currant, smoked prosciutto, bitter cocoa and sweet green herbs. In the mouth, sweet-tart note driven forth by a ripping backbone of acidity keeps those big, juicy flavors of black berry and cherry on the straight-and-narrow, with a lovely bitter-herbal edge providing further balance to the sweetness of fruit. \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProduct size: 750ml\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Cru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52038244794673,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/0441\/0666\/files\/La_Piana_Mirco_Gianaroli_Lambrusco_Grasparossa_di_Castelvetro_Secco_Emilia-Romagna_Italy_NV.jpg?v=1762883837"}],"url":"https:\/\/marchantofwine.com\/collections\/august-lambrusco.oembed","provider":"Merchant of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
