Description
What kind of wine is it
Medici Ermete Carezza Lambrusco di Sorbara is a Brut rosé sparkling wine that expresses the Emilia region through the elegance of the Traditional Method. In the glass, it reveals an intense pink colour enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet opens with fresh notes of strawberry, raspberry and citrus, intertwined with delicate floral hints and yeasty aromas. On the palate, the sip is dry and vibrant, balanced by clear acidity and a pleasant minerality. Perfect when served chilled, it pairs ideally with oysters, fried seafood, cured meats and Parmigiano Reggiano.
Where does it come from
The Lambrusco di Sorbara grapes for this label come from the vineyards of Soliera, in the heart of the Modena area. The vines are managed using a spur-pruned cordon system and follow the principles of organic farming. The region’s clay soils give the grapes a natural ability to preserve freshness and aromatic finesse, essential qualities for sparkling wine bases. These soil and climate conditions result in a wine with a light body but a decisive flavour profile, able to enhance the character of small red fruits and the dynamic drive of the palate.
How is it produced
Production follows the strict technique of the Traditional Method, based on a second fermentation in the bottle that ensures the development of a fine and integrated effervescence. The prolonged ageing on the lees imparts aromatic depth, blending pastry notes with the typical fragrance of the grape variety. The Brut dosage defines a strictly dry and taut profile, keeping the flavour components in perfect balance without weighing down the drink. This process results in a sparkling wine that is vertical, clean and vibrantly expressive.
History and Curiosities
Born in Soliera, in the Modena area, Carezza by Medici Ermete celebrates the rich winemaking tradition of Emilia-Romagna. This refined Brut sparkling wine is made exclusively from Lambrusco di Sorbara grapes, organically grown on clay soils. Thanks to production using the Traditional Method, which involves refermentation and ageing in the bottle, the wine develops a vibrant and sophisticated identity.

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.
