Fattoria Moretto Frizzante Secco Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro 2022
Have a whiff of this attractively frothy, deep purple beverage: does any other wine come close to matching its vivid scent? The three-dimensional fragrance leaps from the glass, hinting at freshly pressed grapes, wild mulberries, and crushed violets.
Produced from organically farmed hillside vineyards just outside of Modena, Moretto’s Grasparossa is made for the notoriously rich cuisine of Emilia-Romagna, arguably the home of Italy’s finest meats and cheeses.
Serve it cool and plan smartly—at just 11.5% alcohol, a single bottle has been known to disappear before one’s thirst has been fully quenched.

Fattoria Moretto Frizzante Secco Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro 2022
You might notice a brand-new mention adorning the back label of the Moretto Frizzante Secco Lambrusco: “Montebarello 155” refers to an association of growers within the Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC, denoting wines crafted exclusively from hillside sites.
Most Lambrusco is grown in the high-yielding, fertile plains of the Po Valley, and even within this small appellation only a portion of vineyards can boast the terroir perks of the cooler, drier foothills. In the glass, this translates to vivid and complex aromas of wild berries, penetrating flavor, and an almost dusty mineral backbone.
The bone-dry finish features bracing acidity and chalky tannins, designed to cut through the fat of a mortadella sandwich or chunks of aged Parmigiano. You can’t go wrong pairing this sparkling rosso with virtually any dish from Emilian cuisine or a simple margherita pizza, but it also marries wonderfully with barbecue slathered in smoky sauce and carnitas seasoned with a bit of spice.
Once again, Moretto sets the standard for dry sparkling red wine—the new vintage is dangerously hard to put down.
