L'Ancestrale
Lambrusco di Sorbara D.O.C.
Semi-sparkling
Bottle-fermented
The history of Lambrusco traces back to ancient times, when wine was “made in the bottle”. L’Ancestrale Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC from Umberto Cavicchioli e Figli is produced today using the same technique. It’s a semi-sparkling wine that, when sipped, reveals its true nature: it can be dry and fruity, sometimes sharp, but becomes endearingly enjoyable and highly appreciated when paired with culinary delights, particularly among connoisseurs who are attentive to the most peculiar wine selections.
Vinification
In the process of bottle fermentation, yeast, thriving in an environment with a constant temperature of 15-17°C, consumes the natural sugars, creating an increase in bottle pressure up to approximately 2.5 atmospheres.
Tasting notes
COLOUR: slightly hazy antique pink colour with a delicate and creamy froth. A typical sediment from bottle refermentation can occur.
BOUQUET: elegant with floral notes of wild rose and violet and delicate hints of red fruits such as raspberries and wild strawberries. Prominent are the enveloping notes of lees with a flavour reminiscent of bread crust.
FLAVOUR: dry and savoury, with the typical acidic note of the single grape variety, yet with a harmonious and balanced finish.
Pairings
A wine with a distinctive and peculiar structure that makes it perfect for innovative and research-oriented cuisine, yet naturally suited to accompany traditional Emilian recipes. It pairs wonderfully with fresh filled pasta dishes, especially those served in broth. It’s also satisfying when enjoyed with platters of cured meats and mature cheeses.
