Cantina della Volta, Spumante, Lambrusco, di Modena, 2009

This high quality Lambrusco has spent 72 months on its lees. Wild strawberry and redcurrant aromas are joined on the palate by a vibrant acidity and cranberry and strawberry flavours. There is a noticeable sweetness, although it remains integrated and balanced by the acidity. The finish is quite long, with a pithy grapefruit and bitter herb character. Surprisingly complex, but an acquired taste. Disgorged Nov 2015.
