The latest edition of Vini d’Italia provides the perfect pretext for this exploration, marking the first time a Lambrusco Grasparossa has been awarded the prestigious Tre Bicchieri. Described as having a "broad aromatic profile, featuring prominent forest fruits like currant and blueberry, hints of white pepper and mint," it is rich on the palate "with lively carbonation, balanced body, and an elegant finish."

This accolade goes to the Grasparossa Castelvetro Vini del Re '22 from the Cantina Sociale Settecani, a recognition for the dedicated producers who lovingly cultivate this traditional Modenese "dark" lambrusco. Grasparossa fills both the glass and the countryside with its foam and color, its red hues painting the autumn landscapes and lips; the glass releases aromas of blueberries and wild strawberries, with a full, delightful, sparkling red sip.
