Cantina Puianello Colli di Scandiano Lambrusco Gasparossa

Lambrusco has spent decades shaking off the ghosts of mass-produced, saccharine exports. Cantina Puianello crafts this Grasparossa on the rolling clay hills of Emilia-Romagna, anchored by a cooperative of dedicated growers operating since 1938.

The Colli di Scandiano terroir yields a deeply pigmented, structured grape that thrives in this specific, sun-baked microclimate. It pours a dense, impenetrable violet. Fermentation happens in stainless steel tanks, preserving the aggressive, brambly fruit profile while ensuring the final liquid remains rigorously dry. This bottling serves as a masterclass in regional authenticity, showcasing a rustic edge that perfectly tethers the frothy effervescence.

• Deep violet hue with a robust, frothy mousse
• Rigorously dry profile featuring aggressive brambly fruit
• Crafted by a historic grower cooperative in Emilia-Romagna

[[TASTING_NOTES]]

Nose: Deep, brooding aromas rise from the glass immediately. Crushed blackberries and dark plums intermingle with an unmistakable undercurrent of damp earth. It smells of dried herbs and a whisper of violets, complicating the dense fruit core.

Palate: The texture is fiercely energetic. A persistent, bracing froth carries heavy notes of black cherry and bruised tart cranberry directly across the mid-palate. Tannins are surprisingly grippy for a sparkling wine, seizing the tongue while bright acidity slices through the dark, vinous weight.

Finish: Dry and unyielding. The tartness lingers alongside a distinct savory note of black pepper, demanding a rich accompaniment to balance the tension.

[[FOOD_PAIRING]]

This wine demands the unapologetic richness of traditional Emilia-Romagna cuisine. Pair it with a towering board of thinly sliced Prosciutto di Parma, fatty mortadella, and aggressively aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, or pour it alongside a hearty wild boar ragù where the wine’s sharp carbonation and grippy tannins effortlessly cut through the dense fat.
