La Battagliola was inherited from his mother, Anna Maria, in 1999 when the countryside of the Modenese plains was still being sowed. A premonitory dream was enough to convince Alberto that the land had a more noble and ambitious fate, that of producing good wine. From that very moment he left the logistics business to become a farmer and transformed the harvesting land to an area of seventy thousand Lambrusco Grasparossa vine cuttings.

  • WINEMAKER: Alberto Salvadori
  • FARMING: Practicing Organic
  • VARIETY: Lambrusco Grasparossa (100%)
  • TERROIR: Clay, loam
  • VINIFICATION: The grapes are harvested mechanically and cooled for 48hours at 8°C. Then fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts at fixed temperatures of 18-20°C for 7 days. The wine is then re-fermented at fixed temperatures in stainless steel pressured tanks. The wine is left aging on the fine lees for at least 4 months where it acquires its typical bouquet.
  • DOSAGE: 15g/l RS
  • TASTING NOTES: Ruby red with fruity aromas of cherry, raspberry and blackberry. Structured and full-bodied on the palate, this is an excellent pairing for hard cheeses, pizza, meaty pastas and grilled vegetables. Serve with a bit of chill.
