Description
What kind of wine it is
Unique by Medici Ermete is a rosé sparkling wine Brut made from Lambrusco Marani grapes. Produced in the Lambrusco Reggiano area, it is crafted following the strict principles of the Traditional Method. In the glass, it reveals a vibrant pink colour accompanied by a fine and creamy mousse. On the nose, it is elegant, with aromas ranging from red fruits to citrus, with hints of brioche and vanilla. On the palate, it is dry, fresh and lively, revealing a harmonious balance that fully enhances the identity of the grape variety.
Where it comes from
Production takes place at the La Rampata Estate, located in the Reggio Emilia area. In this terroir, the vines trained with the spur-pruned cordon method sink their roots into clay-based soils, a key factor in giving the wine a pronounced flavour profile and a taut texture. The agronomic management aims to ensure a high aromatic concentration, reflecting the strong vocation of the Lambrusco Reggiano area, interpreted here in this refined rosé version.
How it is produced
After a delicate rosé vinification of the Lambrusco Marani grapes, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Traditional Method. This is followed by a prolonged ageing on the lees for twenty-six months, a crucial oenological phase to enrich the aromatic complexity and provide a pleasant creaminess. The Brut dosage outlines a dry sip, capable of supporting a vibrant structure and ensuring a very clean finish.
