Tasting Notes
‘Fine’ is his take on Lambrusco in a more refined, méthode traditionnelle style, spending extended time on lees before disgorgement. The 2021 is bright and finely tuned: red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petal sit alongside a subtle savoury edge and gentle spice. The palate is taut and structured, with fine mousse, vibrant acidity and a dry, mineral finish. Light in feel but seriously composed—Lambrusco with real finesse.
More Info
Gianluca Bergianti is a star of Lambrusco. His is the only one on the list at Massimo Bottura's 3 Michelin Star restaurant in Modena, and as well as being a superbly talented winemaker, he's also a keen beekeeper, farmer of heritage grains and producer of hyper-seasonal biodynamic vegetables. His first harvest was just 10 years ago, after intensely researching the two indigenous grapes Sorbara and Salamino, and searching for ancient clones. He spent time studying biodynamics with leaders of the scene in Italy: Stefano Bellotti at Carlo Noro and Michele Lorenzetti, and has worked biodynamically since day one. The wines are thrilling to drink; nervy, tingly, incisive and exciting.
