Lambrusco "Libeccio 225" 2020 - Podere Cipolla

Lambrusco"Libeccio 225" - Podere Cipolla

The "Libeccio 225" is a frank and lively sparkling rosé wine obtained with the method of refermentation in the bottle from Lambrusco Grasparossa grapes and small quantities of Malbo Gentile. The grapes come from vineyards grown organically that are about 15 years old and have been planted on clayey silt soils. After the manual harvest, the must is vinified in white in steel tanks, using only indigenous yeasts. The refermentation takes place in the bottle without final disgorgement and without filtration, clarification or stabilization procedures. The "Libeccio 225" on the nose expresses vinous and floral hints, aromas of cherry and small red berry fruit, and crusty bread and aromatic herbs. The sip is smooth, drinkable, crunchy and juicy, it closes with a finish of great cleanliness.

Winery: Podere Cipolla

Podere Cipolla is located in Coviolo, in the province of Reggio Emilia, south of the ancient Via Emilia, a territory rich in food and wine history. Born in 2003 by the will of Denny Bini who buys a small plot of land of half a hectare. Denny begins to cultivate native vines such as Lambrusco Grasparossa, Lambrusco Salamino and Sorbara, Malbo, Gentile, and Malvasia, which he uses to make single-vine wines. Immediately he decides to produce his wines according to the traditional method of refermentation in the bottle, a method that in his area has been lost at the expense of the Charmat or Martinotti method. Denny, in the cellar, makes wine using only indigenous yeasts, and does not make clarifications or filtrations in order to preserve the characteristics of the vine to the maximum. This allows to obtain more structured wines with a well-delineated tannin that help the wine to stand the time without the need for sulfur. In addition to the refermented classics, we find the Maestrale 315 still red wine based on Malbo Gentile and, with the same vine, Denny produces the Tramontana 360 an interesting sweet wine. The wines of Denny Bini are a hymn to Lambrusco and its rural tradition.
