The wine offers a bouquet of rose water, frutti di bosco, fresh herbs, and spent tea leaf, that evoke walks in the wild hills. On the palate, vibrant notes of strawberry and crushed raspberry intertwine with fine tannins and lively acidity, culminating in a tart and savory finish that leaves a lingering impression. 

Winemaker Notes

Alessandro Medici takes fresh look at Lambrusco with his brainchild "Phermento," a wine produced using exclusively Lambrusco di Sorbara grapes fermented using the Ancestral Method of sparkling wine production. Sorbara, which is one of the most delicate and lightly colored Lambrusco grapes, has a high level of acidity and low tannins that are well suited to the Ancestral method of production. The Sorbara vines are 35 years old, grown Cordone Speronato (cordon trained and spur pruned) in clay soil and with restricted yields. The wine ferments in bottle to brut nature (zero dosage), and is capped with a crown cap. The internal pressure is 2.5 bars, making this wine frizzante. The wine is best served at a temperature of 46 - 50 degrees Fahrenheit and should be consumed within two years of vintage.Deep pink in color, the wine has a bouquet reminiscent of raspberry and red fruit. Dry, yet fruit-forward and vibrant. The bubbles are fine, rich and persistent on the finish.
