The Emilia IGT Ferrando is a pure Salamino Lambrusco Rosato, a variety that gets its name from the shape of the bunch resembling that of a small salami. The vines, cultivated without the use of synthetic chemical products, lie on clayey-sandy soils, with a good presence of gravel in depth. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out by indigenous yeasts only, while the short maceration enhances the readiness to drink. The sparkling process occurs spontaneously in the bottlefollowing the Ancestral Method, without disgorging, with a refinement of about 6-8 months before release.
To the eye, the Quarticello Lambrusco Rosato Ferrando has a seductive purplish-red color, with a rich and persistent foam, while the nose recalls notes of forest fruits and spices, aromatic herbs, and flowers. The sensations found in the mouth are consistent, where the agile freshness and delicate tannin blend with the lively and vibrant effervescence, in a winning combination that calls for a nice platter of cured meats, as dictated by the noble gastronomic tradition of Emilia.
