Winemaker Notes
“Cattabrega” is produced from vineyards located in the municipality of Castelvetro, in the province of Modena, birthplace of Lambrusco Grasparossa. Podere Sottoilnoce winery proudly uses the refermentation techniques that have always been the identity of the Emilian territory: the wine ferments in the bottle according to the dictates of the ancestral method, which consists in bottling the must during the first cold days of winter with a light percentage of sugar left from the previous fermentation. This light residue will reactivate the spontaneous yeasts contained inside the bottles, thanks to the action of the spring warmth, allowing them to carry out a second fermentation which will ultimately give effervescence and creaminess to the wine.
