About Bruno Zanasi Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro

Bruno Zanasi Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro is a bright and cheery sparkling red from organic vineyards in Modena. Raspberry goodness!

These 36-year-old vines grown in 4 hectares of clay soils on in the area of this small estate of four hectares mostly comprised of clay soil. The grapes are hand-harvested at the beginning of October and are put through temperature-controlled fermentation for 1 month in steel barrels. Aged in bottle for one month before release.

About Bruno Zanasi

In 1919, Bruno Zanasi was born and from a young age, he was introduced to the world of agriculture, learning a trade that had already been launched by his father. So, in 1957, the teachings of his father led him to buy a piece of land in San Vito which had an area of almost 10 acres. However, it was this period that saw the birth of the industry and young workers, attracted by this innovation and the prospect of higher wages, abandoned farming and working in the fields. Over time, the Zanasi family restructured its estate, buying other plots near Castelnuovo, Castelvetro, and Spilamberto. Now Bruno Zanasi’s grandson, Marco, is a true professional, thanks to the teachings of his grandfather who prepared him, with patience and passion, for the procedures required in the processing and producing wine. He now also attends to the company, anticipating the day when his younger brother, Matteo, who is currently a student, can then collaborate with him to move the company forward, and continue that which their grandfather built with hard work and sacrifice.

About Lambrusco Grasparossa

Lambrusco Grasparossa grapes is just one of various Lambrusco varieties, grown around the town of Castelvetro di Modena.Inky purple in color (flecked with crimson in the foam), it has pronounced aromas of violets, strawberries, fresh plums, and black cherries. Fuller bodied and higher in alcohol than other examples, Grasparossa is also the most tannic of the Lambrusco varieties. The wine is robust enough to provide an excellent match for the local food specialty, zampone (stuffed pig trotter).
