Item # 44612 750mL

Terrevive produces sparkling Pignoletto in a rich, yet high-acid style. It is focused on citrus aromas, yet possesses a richness and medium body. The estate is a completely biodynamic operation, and vineyards cover just about a third of the farm's acreage. Dry and mouthwatering, this calls for some salumi, cheese, and olives.

It's like fresh green apple on toast. Just don't tell anyone it's for lunch.

Lambrusco (the name of both the grape and the wine it produces) is the main grape grown in the region of Modena, sandwiched between the cities of Parma and Bologna. As in most regions in Italy, there are also a slew of Indiginous varieties planted throughout the province. Wines from Albana,...
