Poderi Fiorini - "Vecchio Fondo" Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC (Charmat Method)
Poderi Fiorini's Vecchio Fondo is a Lambrusco di Sorbara that combines a tribute to the historical tradition of the territory with a modern and impeccable winemaking technique. Produced in Savignano sul Panaro, in the heart of the Modena hills, this wine comes from careful and respectful organic management. The choice of the Charmat Method for this label enhances the proverbial freshness and fragrance of Sorbara, offering a crystalline, vibrant, and very elegant glass. In an emerging reality that produces a total of about 50,000 bottles, Vecchio Fondo stands out for its marked citric acidity and a very fine floral bouquet, confirming itself as one of the most gastronomic and refined Lambruscos of the denomination.
Sensory Profile In the glass, it presents a pale cherry-pink color, clear and bright, with a fine perlage and an evanescent foam. The nose is an explosion of freshness: clear notes of wild strawberry, red currant, and pink grapefruit blend with elegant floral hints of violet and dog rose. On the palate, the entry is direct, dry, and extraordinarily refreshing; the natural acidity of Sorbara is the absolute protagonist, balanced by a mineral savoriness that cleanses the palate masterfully. The finish is long, clean, and leaves a pleasant citrus sensation.
Vinification and Aging The grapes from the organic hillside vineyards are harvested manually and vinified in white with soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The secondary fermentation (prise de mousse) occurs in an autoclave using the Charmat Method, a technical choice that preserves the primary aromas of the grape intact and ensures lively and silky bubbles. The wine is then bottled in conditions of absolute purity to maintain its characteristic brilliance.
Food Pairings The perfect companion for traditional Modenese dishes: gnocco fritto, savory cured meats (Prosciutto di Modena, Mortadella), tortellini, and green lasagna. Thanks to its extraordinary ability to "cleanse" the palate, it is also perfect with fried fish, Asian cuisine, sushi, and tuna or salmon tartare. Also excellent as a sophisticated aperitif.
