Lambrusco Grasparossa 'Quercioli' Ermete Medici

The Lambrusco Grasparossa ‘Quercioli’ from the Emilian winery Medici Ermete is a dry sparkling red wine characterized by vivid fruity perceptions. This label belongs to the ‘Le Selezioni’ line, dedicated to Lambrusco and high-quality sparkling wines, and is produced using only Lambrusco di Grasparossa grapes, a variety widespread in the province of Modena, particularly in the Castelvetro area, but also in Reggiano. The name Grasparossa derives from the particular reddish coloration of the stem in autumn.

‘Quercioli’ Medici Ermete Lambrusco di Grasparossa Secco originates from only grapes of the same black berry variety cultivated in the Modenese territory, particularly in the Castelvetro area, on predominantly clayey soils. The production vision of the estate is based on sustainability in environmental, economic, and social aspects, which is why the vineyards are managed to minimize environmental impact. In the winery, the grapes are vinified in red through alcoholic fermentation in contact with the skins in stainless steel tanks, followed by refermentation in autoclave according to the Martinotti Method, also known as Charmat Method. The wine is finally bottled with 12 g/l of residual sugars.

The Lambrusco Grasparossa ‘Quercioli’ Secco from the Medici Ermete winery has an intense ruby red color with a rich foam. On the nose, it expresses vivid fruity and floral notes of fresh blueberry and violet, while on the palate it is dry, lively, and harmonious, with light tannins and a fleshy freshness that accompany the intense fruity finish. This Lambrusco is perfect as a pairing with the delicious platters of cheeses and cured meats from the Emilian tradition, such as culatello, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, mortadella, and cooked ham.
