13.70 €

Vigna del Picchio is vinified with Lambrusco Maestri grapes and Ancellotta grapes. The grapes are harvested late and then fermented for a long time in steel. Aging takes place in oak barrels in the dark underground cellar for three years and an additional year in the bottle. Lambrusco Maestri takes its name from Villa Maestri, which is located near San Pancrazio near Parma, the area where this grape variety is thought to have originated. It was probably already known in the 19th century but was not documented until 1900. It is the Lambrusco variety with the best adaptability and grows most near Reggio Emilia and has abundant and consistent production. According to molecular analysis, Lambrusco Maestri is a parent of the Fontana grape variety. The Ancellotta grape variety owes its name to the Lancellotti family and Tommasino Lancellotti, who propagated this variety during the 14th and 15th centuries. It grows mainly in flat vineyards, mainly near Reggio Emilia. It is characterized by a medium-sized pyramidal cluster with round berries with a thick, dark-colored skin; wind- and drought-resistant, it is susceptible to spring frost and powdery mildew.
