The 2024 Radice, a benchmark wine in the denomination along with its sibling Lecclisse, opens with delicately enticing aromas of small red berry, violet, lavender, citrus and wild herb. Showing great racy tension, the palate is bone-dry and savory, featuring pomegranate, cranberry, blood orange and saline notes. Made with the ancestral method of bottling the wine while still on its lees, as you get toward the bottom of the bottle, you’ll also find yeasty flavors recalling brioche. Bright acidity and a fine fizz provide energy and finesse.

Pale coral with a slightly veiled appearance, it opens with scents reminiscent of a punnet of soft fruit, and a hint of pie crust in the background. The palate is rapier-like, with juicy acidity and a long, savoury finish. The Paltrinieri family are one of the historic leaders in the renaissance of Lambrusco. Its Radice is a metodo ancestrale in a diverse range which includes both metodo classico and charmat interpretations of Lambrusco di Sorbara. Refined.
