BUDDHA AT LARGE
We all know that Lambrusco is a vapid, sweet, pinkish liquid chemically grown in the plains around Modena in vast quantities, and best avoided by any true wine lover.
What is less well known is that originally Lambrusco was not grown in the plains, but rather in the Appenine foothills, from a variety of autochtonous grapes such as Uva Tosca, Lambrusco Pelegrino, Lambrusco Marani, Lambrusco Maestri and many others.
And what is even less known is that there are a small number of wineries that are revitalising the age-old tradition of organically grown, minimal-intervention Rifermentato-style dry, sparkling reds.
Fresh from presentations in New York, London and Tokyo, Max Brondolo is the proprietor of the Sotto il Noce estate and representative of the Frizzante Revolution group, and he will guide us through all the intricacies of real, proper, old-school Rifermentato, complete with tastings of examples from 5 of the wineries of the group.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to meet the gregarious and extremely knowledgeable Max Brondolo, to learn about the vibrant re-birth of an age-old tradition – and not least to taste some of the rather stunning wines resulting from it.
If you are anything like me, you will be pretty mind-blown.
