Tasting Notes

The 2007 Rosso Metodo Classico entices with a dark, complex bouquet of crushed black cherries, underbrush, rose petals and spice. Its silken, creamy feel is offset by zesty acidity, as ripe wild berries and fruits mix with tart citrus. This 100% Lambrusco di Salamino is radiant with ripe cherries mixed with savory herbs, sweet spices and blueberry tart aromas. The palate is rich yet light with an acidity that keeps the palate fresh. The wine finishes with complex notes of plums, dried herbs and violets.
