Dry, light and genuinely approachable, with bright acidity and no sweetness to blunt the refreshing finish. Lambrusco 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Medici family have been making top-of-the-range Lambrusco for over a century, since Remigio Medici founded a cellar in the late nineteenth century to make the most of the family vineyards between the Via Emilia and the hills of the Enza Valley; the company now owns 80 hectares across the finest growing areas of Emilia-Romagna, works to yields 30–40% below what the DOC allows, and has been rewarded with Gambero Rosso's Tre Bicchieri, a distinction that placed Lambrusco among Italy's top wines. Phermento is made entirely from Lambrusco di Sorbara grown on the Soliera estate in the north of the Modena province, between the ancient alluvial beds of the Panaro and Secchia rivers, where the sandy elements of the soil lend elegance and the clay-rich parts give structure, with the vines trained to spurred cordon. Vinified as a rosé with wild yeasts in stainless steel, the wine then took its sparkle in the bottle through the addition of must — the 'presa di spuma' — which leaves the gentle fizz and the richness of texture drawn from the lees. 2023 brought mild temperatures and average rainfall, with spring frosts that cut yields, but the fruit that came in carried good acidity, sugar and polyphenols.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe cold, at 8–10°C. It cuts through prosciutto and salumi, a plate of Parmigiano, tagliatelle al ragù, or barbecued pork. Drink within one to three years; no decanting, and the bottle is sealed with a crown cap rather than a cork.
