What kind of wine is Lambrusco Spumante Brut Rosé di Modena Metodo Classico DOC 2018 - Cantina della Volta

The Lambrusco Spumante Brut Rosé di Modena Metodo Classico DOC 2018 - Cantina della Volta is a refined and contemporary expression of traditional Modenese Lambrusco. It is born from a process that combines the typical vitality of Emilian reds with the elegance of Metodo Classico bubbles, thus obtaining a wine that lives in perfect balance between a white and a red, ideal for those seeking freshness, structure, and versatility in a single bottle.

Vintage details

The 2018 vintage was characterized by balanced weather, with a mild spring and a not excessively hot summer. The temperature excursions between day and night favored the development of aromatics and the perfect ripening of the grapes. The yield in the vineyard was contained to prioritize concentration and quality, elements found in the glass in a clear and lively aromatic profile.

Winemaking and aging

The production of this rosé follows the Metodo Classico, meaning the second fermentation takes place directly in the bottle, as happens for Champagne. After a short maceration on the skins (called “saignée”), which gives the delicate rosé color, the wine ages on its lees for many months, developing finesse and complexity. A long rest that yields fine bubbles, mature aromas, and an extraordinary taste harmony.
