Medici Ermete
For more than one hundred years the name of the Medici family has been synonym with excellent Lambrusco and quality wine. At the beginning of the 20th Century Remigio the founder set up a wine cellar for the production of Lambrusco with the purpose of exploiting in the best possible way the family's vineyards situated between the Via Emilia and the first slopes of the Enza valley. His son Ermete was then responsible for marketing and expanding this brand. Today the fourth generation of the Medici family still shows the same passion and skill every day in the vineyard as well as in the cellars that have made them protagonists in the world of wine.
Description
Lambrusco Grasparossa Dolce is inky purple in colour, flecked with crimson in the foam. Pronounced aromas of violets, strawberries, fresh plums and black cherries on the nose. On the palate it is well-spiced and appealing, with a satiny mousse and fresh acidity carrying flavours of damson plum jam, pomegranate puree, rose hip and leather. Light tannins firm the finish, where the spice note lingers.
Food Pairing
This fruity wine makes a great aperitif, but also goes well with appetizers, pasta dishes, pastries, and desserts. Particularly suitable to accompany pumpkin tortelli and “Zampone” (stuffed pig's trotter with spicy, dried and cured ground pork) served with lentils. Excellent also with “Ciambella”, a traditional ring cake that is flavoured with lemon zest and sometimes a sweet, fruity liqueur.
