Nicchia Lambrusco di Modena

Savor the effervescent charm of Nicchia Lambrusco di Modena, a sparkling red from Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. Crafted by Cantina Fratelli Carafoli from a blend of Lambrusco Salamino, Marani, and Grasparossa grapes grown on alluvial soils between Modena’s Secchia and Panaro rivers, this wine is fermented using the Charmat method for vibrant bubbles. Its ruby-red hue dances with purple glints. Bursting with black plum and tart cherry, it’s perfect for prosciutto-wrapped appetizers or pizza nights. This medium-sweet, low-alcohol (8.5%) wine offers zesty acidity, soft carbonation, and a spicy finish, capturing Modena’s festive spirit with lively, food-friendly allure.

Nose: A fruity bouquet unfolds with black plum, crushed blackberry, and tart cherry, accented by hints of red currant and subtle violet. It’s vibrant and enticing.

Palate: Lively and refreshing, the palate delivers ripe cherry, pomegranate, and a touch of creamy vanilla. Bright acidity and soft bubbles create a balanced, juicy structure. Effortlessly festive.

Finish: Tart berry snap and a slightly spicy edge. It’s medium-sweet, urging another sip with Modena’s playful charm.

This Lambrusco is a crowd-pleaser. Pair it with prosciutto, salami, or parmesan for a classic Emilia-Romagna match. It shines with pizza, lasagna, or BBQ ribs, cutting through rich flavors with its acidity and bubbles. For dessert, try it with a berry tart. Its versatility elevates savory, cheesy, or agrodolce dishes combining sweet and sour notes.
