QUARTICELLO
Ferrando 2022
Emilia-Romagna, Italy
A beautiful sparkling rosato of Lambrusco Salamino. The grapes only spend a night infusing with their skins, leaving a light, bright wine that is a beautiful shade of pink. Initially fermented in vat, the wine is transferred to bottle with a little must for the second fermentation. The result is a vibrant, cloudy sparkling wine that sings with flavours of blood orange, earth and bitter herbs.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
From his family’s vineyards in Montecchio Emilia, Roberto Maestri makes a handful of sparkling wines that equal the best in the region.
Roberto works organically on five hectares of vines sat on clay-gravel soils. He only uses wild yeasts and his bubbles are made the traditional way here in Emilia, with the second fermentation completed in the bottle.
Roberto’s wines are deceptively simple, but always delicious, with eating well and good times in mind. They offer real refreshment and make so much sense alongside some salumi or a nice hunk of cheese. Perhaps that is why they are the first wines we reach for time and time again to begin a meal.
