Description
What kind of wine is it
Phermento by Medici Ermete is a dry rosé Lambrusco di Sorbara produced in Emilia-Romagna. The exclusive use of the Lambrusco di Sorbara grape variety and bottle refermentation define an authentic profile, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it opens with clear notes of raspberry and small red fruits. The palate is intensely fruity, with minimal residual sugar that enhances a dry and vibrant sip, ensuring a precise, clean and very crisp drink.
Where does it come from
The grapes destined for this Lambrusco di Sorbara grow in Soliera, in the province of Modena. In this area of Emilia-Romagna, the presence of distinctive sandy soils is a decisive factor in giving the rosé marked agility. The vineyards, cultivated using the spur-pruned cordon method with carefully regulated yields, allow the aromatic potential of the grapes to be concentrated. The character of this terroir is revealed in a lively and vertical texture, dominated by a freshness that fully enhances the fragrant notes of red fruits.
How is it produced
The production of this rosé is based on the ancestral method, involving targeted vinification and subsequent bottle refermentation on the lees. This technique preserves the natural sediment, ensuring a dry expression completely free from added dosage. The process creates a persistent mousse that accompanies and lifts the primary aromas of the grape. Served at a cool temperature, preferably between 8 and 10 °C, the wine reveals a straightforward and pleasantly agile character on the palate.

Today the company owns about 80 hectares of vineyards (grown entirely organically), distributed among the areas with the highest wine-making vocation in the Emilia-Romagna region, and exports to over 70 countries in the world. Now in their fifth generation, represented by Alessandro, the Medici family can boast solid experience in the vineyard as well as the cellar.
They won their wager: the maximum enhancement of their wines. The winning idea was to create a close link between the territory and the wines produced, the rigorous selection of grapes, at the cost of a yield per hectare even 30-40% lower than the DOC regulations, but the guaranteeing wines of unprecedented quality.
