The
Medici family-owned winery has been making high-quality Lambrusco wines
since 1890 and their Medici Ermete Concerto Organic Reggiano Lambrusco
is the world's first single vineyard vintage Lambrusco. Interesting to note
is that the Medici family has been farmed sustainably for decades, and their
Concerto is now farmed organically. Their Medici Ermete Concerto Organic Reggiano
Lambrusco DOC 2020 is a delicious,
dry red semi-sparkling wine at natural fermentation that is "green certified"
and has achieved 93 points from the Sommelier Journal. Need we say more?
Cheers!

Tasting
Notes: Love dry reds and sparkling wine but
are looking for a change? We love the Medici Ermete Concerto Organic Reggiano
Lambrusco DOC 2020, which offers the best of both worlds as it is a dry red wine,
and it is also a semi-sparkling wine.
The Medici
family winery has stood the test of time since 1890, and aways innovative, "in
2018 they converted all of its 200 acres of estate vineyards from sustainable
to organic farming." What that means for consumers is that they use "no
herbicides, no pesticides, and no fertilizers." With the rise in healthy eating
practices, this allows for healthy drinking practices as well.
Made from
100% Lambrusco Salamino organic grapes grown in clay soil with highly limited
yields from the renowned Tenuta La Rampata vineyard in the Reggio-Emilia province
of Northern Italy, the wine has a sugar level of 9g/l and falls in the Brut
category (under 15 g/l) and has a deep ruby red color. The vineyard notes that
2020 was an excellent harvest year, with a warm and sunny April, rain in May,
and a hot, dry summer beginning in mid-June that provided excellent grape
maturation. The harvesting commenced in late September and continued into early
October.
The
aromatic nose offers a rich bouquet of ripe berries. On the palate there are
notes of raspberries, ripe strawberries, and cherries. With balanced acidity
and tannins, this is a dry, flavorful, and fruity red wine that is perfect to
pair with food yet can easily stand alone. This wine is best consumed young,
within 2 years of its vintage.
Pairing
Suggestions: Pairs well with
food including charcuterie, grilled meat, pasta dishes like tortellini or
lasagna, as well as with cheese. We paired the Medici Ermete Concerto Organic
Reggiano Lambrusco DOC 2020 with crab and mushroom crusted tilapia accompanied
with au gratin potato galette, and asparagus, and found that the wine provided
a nice counterbalance to the earthiness of the mushrooms and enough acidity to
complement the cheese in the potato galette.
