Cantina Sociale di Carpi e Sorbara
The Cantina Sociale di Carpi e Sorbara is an important winemaking reality in Emilia, an institution in the world of Lambrusco. It is a large cooperative, born from the merger of two historic realities: the Cantina Sociale di Carpi and the Cantina di Sorbara, both active since the early years of the '900. Some numbers help illustrate the importance and the deep connection with the territory of this historic Lambrusco-producing reality: 1,200 producer members, 2,300 hectares of vineyards, 6 facilities, 450,000 hectoliters of wine produced each year.
The extent and importance of the Cantina Sociale di Carpi e Sorbara allow it to produce all types of Lambrusco, starting from different grape varieties and various terroirs. The fact that only a small part of the production is bottled allows for a rigorous selection of the grape batches and enables the creation of high-level wines, among the most perfect and rigorous expressions of Lambrusco. While most of the grapes are indeed used for the production of bulk wine, the portion reserved for bottling represents the best selection from a vast area of the Emilia territory.
for bottled wines represents the best selection from a vast portion of the Emilia territory.Among the numerous labels offered by the Cantina Sociale di Carpi e Sorbara, those of the Linea Superior stand out, dedicated to Gino Friedmann, a cultured and enlightened landowner from Modena who promoted, in the early decades of the '900, various cooperation initiatives among the wineries. The bottles of Lambrusco produced as "Tribute to Gino Friedmann" are category standouts: clear and vertical wines, full of energy and fine, delicate aromas. We are talking about sparkling Lambrusco from Sorbara, an authentic and traditional expression of Emilia, but its references should be sought geographically higher, in the world of the most refined bubbles.
