Profile & Story
Francesco Vezzelli founded his estate in 1958 near Modena's San Matteo district, one of the first independent growers in a cooperative-dominated Lambrusco region; his son Roberto now farms 16 hectares including hillside vines at Levizzano Rangone. Rive dei Ciliegi is a pure Grasparossa frizzante, hand-harvested from the hills of Castelvetro.
Tasting Notes
Intense red color with fine, persistent bubbles and creamy foam; aromas of mature fruit and undergrowth, savory and slightly fruity on the palate with full, present body.
Pairing Recommendation
Dry pasta dishes, boiled meats, and cured meats in general.
