Description
What kind of wine it is
To You Bolle di Lambrusco Rosso di Ceci is a sparkling red wine made from Lambrusco Maestri grapes. It stands out for its aromatic profile, featuring notes of forest fruits, hints of violet and subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is semi-dry and harmonious, supported by balanced tannins and a pleasant softness. The tasting experience is characterised by a delicate effervescence and lively froth, leading to a satisfying finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from Emilia-Romagna, a renowned area for the production of Emilia wines. The vineyards are planted on clay-limestone soils, a composition that gives the wine a defined structure and good savouriness. This environment imparts an intense ruby colour with purple highlights, enhancing the characteristics of Lambrusco Maestri. Served at a temperature of 8-10°C, this red proves extremely versatile, perfect for accompanying the richness of local cured meats and cheeses or grilled meats.
How it is produced
Production begins with the harvest in the first ten days of October. In the winery, the must remains in contact with the skins for a maceration at controlled temperature for about five to seven days, essential for extracting colour and varietal aromas. The sparkling process takes place using the Charmat method, with a secondary fermentation in a pressurised tank that creates a balanced effervescence. This process harmonises the residual sugar with the acidic freshness, offering a dynamic, clean drink that stays true to the grape variety's identity.
History and Curiosities
Produced in Emilia-Romagna by the historic Ceci Wineries, To You Bolle di Lambrusco Rosso combines authentic tradition with a strong innovative spirit. Vinified using the Charmat method following the early October harvest, it benefits from meticulous maceration on the skins to enhance its aromatic profile. Multi-award-winning and recognised by Bibenda and James Suckling, this wine also captivates with its ingenious blackboard bottle: a designer object accompanied by chalk and an eraser, perfect for gifting emotions through handwritten messages and dedications.

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
