Why we like it

This sparkling Lambrusco Grasparossa blend displays intense red color with aromatic carnation flowers and blackberry notes. The palate shows deep, characterful expression with bright acidity and natural effervescence. Serve chilled at 45-50°F without decanting to preserve bubbles. Pairs beautifully with traditional Italian pasta all'Arrabbiata.

Description

Folicello Lambruscone Pét Nat is crafted by Marco and Antonella in Castelfranco Emilia, Emilia-Romagna, from certified organic Lambrusco Grasparossa and Malbo Gentile grapes grown on clay, silt, and sand composite soils. The wine undergoes Metodo Ancestrale fermentation with spontaneous native yeast fermentation, creating natural effervescence through bottle re-fermentation. No sulfur is added during production, and the wine remains unfiltered and unfined.

Producer profile

Folicello

Marco and Antonella, the passionate team behind Folicello, began their winemaking journey in the scenic Castelfranco Emilia, Modena, Emilia Romagna region. Since the early 1980s, their goal has been simple yet heartfelt: to create authentic, vibrant wines that reflect the beauty of their surroundings. Initially intended for personal enjoyment and sharing with friends, their endeavor has since evolved significantly.

Today, their modest estate features a modern cellar designed for efficient grape vinification. Beyond wine, Marco and Antonella have expanded their offerings to include organic jams and other grape-derived products, as well as a dedicated vinegar production facility. This expansion reflects their deep connection to the countryside and their appreciation for the enriched lifestyle it provides.

For this duo, winemaking extends beyond commercial success; it's about embracing and showcasing the benefits of organic viticulture. They believe in producing superior wines that are feasible and deeply fulfilling, embodying a sustainable, nature-aligned way of life. Winemaking for them is more than a profession; it's a means to demonstrate a harmonious coexistence with nature.

Wine region

Emilia–Romagna, Italy

Emilia-Romagna stands as one of Italy's most diverse and historically significant wine regions, stretching across northern Italy from the Adriatic Sea to the Apennine Mountains. Located between Lombardy, Veneto, and Tuscany, this expansive region boasts a winemaking heritage dating back to the seventh century BC, when Etruscans first introduced viticulture to the fertile Po Valley.

The region's viticultural landscape encompasses approximately 60,000 hectares of vineyards, producing roughly equal amounts of red and white wines. Emilia-Romagna's composite soil structure combines clay, silt, and sand, creating ideal conditions for diverse grape varieties. The climate benefits from Mediterranean influences tempered by the Adriatic Sea, providing optimal growing conditions with warm summers and moderate winters.


Lambrusco: The Regional Flagship

Emilia-Romagna is globally renowned for Lambrusco, the sparkling red wine that achieved international recognition in the 1980s. The region produces five distinct Lambrusco DOCs: Salamino di Santa Croce, di Sorbara, Grasparossa di Castelvetro, Modena, and Reggiano. Each appellation showcases unique characteristics derived from specific grape clones and terroir variations. Modern producers like Francesco Bellei, Baldini, Ceci, and Paltrinieri craft both traditional and contemporary Lambrusco expressions using ancestral methods and natural fermentation techniques.


Diverse Grape Varieties and Wine Styles

Beyond Lambrusco, Emilia-Romagna cultivates numerous indigenous and international varieties. Trebbiano represents 30% of regional production, creating fresh, crisp white wines, while Sangiovese comprises 16%, producing notable reds particularly in the eastern Romagna hills. The region also grows Barbera, Bonarda, Malvasia, and international varieties including Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.


Quality Designations and Innovation

Emilia-Romagna encompasses 21 DOC/DOCG appellations, with approximately 15% of production meeting these quality standards. Albana di Romagna holds the distinction of being Italy's first white wine classified as DOCG in 1987. The region increasingly emphasizes organic and natural wine production, positioning itself at the forefront of contemporary vinicultural innovations.
