Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce

About the wine

Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce is a distinctive DOC from the Modena province, centered on the Salamino grape variety, which must comprise at least 85% of the blend. Known for its deep ruby color and vibrant, persistent foam, this wine is produced in both frizzante and spumante styles, ranging from dry to sweet. The Salamino grape is prized for its high productivity and ability to retain acidity, resulting in a fresh, aromatic profile with characteristic floral and fruity notes. The production process relies on traditional natural refermentation, either in the bottle or in autoclaves, reflecting the historical expertise of the Emilia-Romagna region in crafting sparkling wines. The wines are typically characterized by a lively, refreshing palate and a delicate yeast-derived complexity, making them a versatile pairing for the rich culinary traditions of the area.
