Marco lives with his wife, Mara, on their property with his parents, aunts and uncles. They also produce excellent balsamic vinegar and raise the famous Vache Rosse cows which they use to produce farmstead Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The manure from the cows is used as compost in the vineyards.

  • WINEMAKER: Marco Uccellari
  • FARMING: Certified Organic
  • VARIETY: Lambrusco di Grasparossa di Castelvetro
  • TERROIR: 100 M, E facing, limestone-based clay. Hillside vineyards around Castelvetro planted on clay-rich soils that contribute color, tannin, and earthy structure. 
  • VINIFICATION: 6 days maceration, single fermentation, from juice to sparkling wine, in stainless steel using native yeasts.
  • AGING: 30 days in reinforced stainless steel tanks, 60 days in bottle. 
  • TASTING NOTES: This Lambrusco shows intense fresh young aromas and flavors of cherry, raspberry, blueberry. Chewy on the palate and deep purplish red with pink foam around the glass. Excellent with salumi, pizza, pasta with meat sauce, the hint of bitterness on the finish cuts right through rich flavors.
