Description
A demi-sec Charmat method sparkling red wine produced by Cantine Ceci in Emilia-Romagna. 100% Lambrusco Maestri. 0.75L bottle. A Lambrusco that embodies the history of a family that has been producing wines with passion and innovation since 1938. The fruity notes of ripe cherry and berries, combined with elegant floral notes of violet, give depth and intensity to a memorable finish. Intense ruby red. The soft and deep entry gives way to a precise and elegant tannic texture. The good freshness and pleasant savory flavor complement well with notes of ripe red fruit and subtle citrus hints.

They closed their restaurant and launched Cantine Ceci, and set out on their adventure in the world of wine, the beginning of a tradition that would evolve over the years as the Ceci brothers discovered their love for grape growing, for wine, and for those poetic bubbling casks that inspired and shaped their goals and aspirations.
Today, Otello's grandchildren run the family business: Alessandro, Maria Teresa, Maria Paola, Elisa, and Chiara. They represent the new spirit of the winery as they continue to build on their family's past achievements, creating an even richer winemaking tradition for the generations that follow.
Their goal is that of allowing the appellation to express everything that this land has to give. They aim for top quality with the products that they put out into the market. They constantly reach for innovation in their products, whether in the flavour profile or in the packaging. They sell their sparkling wines and their flagship Otello NeroDiLambrusco in a square-shaped bottle, an entirely new and unique way to present the wines.
The rapid expansion of the winery began in the 1990s with the launch of its Lambrusco Terre Verdiane, a wine that created renewed interest in the grape variety. All of this and the deep local roots of the Ceci family keep Cantine Ceci closely connected to the appellation. This relationship allows the Ceci family members not to be afraid when it comes to expanding their business. They work together every day knowing that they believe in their values and that not one of them would live or work anywhere else. Read more
