The terroir and microclimate of Pederzana are singular. Sunlight bathes the estate in the valley of Solignano Vecchio from the early morning onwards and it benefits from very cool air currents that create the ideal temperature fluctuation between day and night for the successful ripening of Grasparossa’s aromas and polyphenols. The clayey soil allows the vines to cope well even for quite long periods without any rain, and the constant ventilation means that the vegetation always remains dry. The vineyards are divided into two main zones: One just below the winery with south-easterly exposure and the other facing due east. This results in different ripening times and the development of varied characteristics within the Grasparossa that, ultimately, result in a richer blend for the final wines. Harvesting at Pederzana takes place entirely by hand in order to carefully select the ripest and healthiest parcels of grapes.
Made in a handful of wine regions across the globe, red sparkling wine ranges from delicately sweet to bone dry. While styles vary by region, red sparkling wine production methods are often the decision of the winemaker. For serving, cool red sparkling wine down to about 40F to 50F.
Extending from the Adriatic coast in the east, to the border of the Mediterranean Ligurian region in the west, Emilia Romagna is a large, central Italian region focused on a wide array of gastronomic specialties. The plains of Emilia host four well-defined subzones for its famous, lightly sparkling red, Lambrusco. The more coastal Romagna has the capacity to produce impressive wines from Sangiovese and Albana.
