Villa di Corlo Corleto Lambrusco Grasp. di Cast. 2024

Tasting Notes

The Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro variety is considered by many to be the fullest bodied and finest Lambrusco. Grown on hillside vineyards near Castelvetro, south of Modena. A very deeply coloured frothy purple in the glass, the bouquet is intense and with aromas of ripe strawberries, luscious blueberries, black cherry and distinct floral notes of violets and iris. The wine shows great concentration on the palate with an explosion of dark fruit and structured tannins leading to a lively and lingering dry finish. This is a tremendous “food wine” and few pair better with traditional Italian fare. Typically served chilled, it makes a delightful summer beverage for dinners “al fresco”!
