Cavicchioli Lambrusco Dolce (75cl, 7.5%)

Cavicchioli Lambrusco Dolce is a sweet sparkling red wine from Emilia-Romagna, Italy, bottled at 7.5% ABV in a 750ml format. It is built from an equal three-way blend of Lambrusco di Sorbara, Lambrusco di Grasparossa and Lambrusco di Salamino. Cavicchioli was founded in 1928 by Umberto Cavicchioli in San Prospero. Grapes are harvested between September and October, destemmed and traditionally vinified on their skins at controlled temperatures. The wine then undergoes a second fermentation via the Charmat method in pressure tanks. The nose opens with ripe blackberries and Marasca cherries, then violet florals, with ripe plum and wild strawberry. On the palate, soft effervescence carries dark berries and red currants across a sweet, juicy entry, with a velvety mouthfeel and ripe plum and blackberry fruit. The finish lingers with a fresh, slightly creamy texture and delicate residual sweetness, with a light tannic grip.
