Lambrusco Emilia IGT Dolce NV
Italy » Modena » Cavicchioli 1928 » Lambrusco Emilia IGT Dolce NVSummary
Lambrusco, a lightly sparkling, slightly sweet red wine is served well-chilled, and so is a godsend in the summer, when simpler fare, especially grilled or cured meats, call for a similarly light-hearted wine. Lambrusco makes an exceptional, if unexpected, match with fiery hot-and-spicy dishes because its bubbly nature and slight sweetness make it work more like beer than wine to quench the flames.
Vinification: The grapes, harvested between September and October are removed from the stalks and are traditionally vinified on their skins at a controlled temperature. The second fermentation takes place using the Charmat method in pressure tanks with the base wine and fresh must and with the aid of selected yeasts.
Analytical data: Alcohol 7,5%; total acidity 5.5 g/l; pH 3.3; sugars 50 g/l
Available in 750ml and 1.5l
Notes
The froth is evanescent with a violet color and continuous perlage. Its color is a brilliant ruby red color, the perfume is fruity with flowery notes and the taste is sweet and harmonious.

Sweepingly biting on the uptake briefly revealing character traits of a darker red before fizzing into a light cherry on the palate. A delightfully lighthearted redperfect for celebrating a flingor the alacrity of a longstanding romance."

Date: Saturday, February 11, 2012"try a lightly sparkling red wine such as Cavicchiolis Lambrusco Dolce from Italys Emilia-Romagna region. Dolce means sweet, but this is actually a semi-sweet wine with a relatively dry finish. Made from a blend of sorbara, grasparossa and salamino grapes, its festive and easy to drink alcohol is only 7.5 percent with tastes that suggest black cherry and blackberry. Its a refreshing companion to chocolate of all kinds and comes with a bargain price of just $8."
