He uses only estate fruit - nothing purchased -- and the wine is made less than 50 meters from his vineyards.  All the harvesting process is done with small crates, strictly by hand, no machines. After the fermentation (which comes entirely from natural process without the use of additives or preservatives, in temperature-controlled steel tanks) and the finishing process, his wines travel the grand total of ten meters for bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Please don't call it Lambrusco,\" Gianni says.  Well, it is, but we get it. His wines are made using metodo classico (the same method used to make Champagne), which is a rarity with Lambrusco.  Fermented using native yeasts and all organic grapes (which is even a rarity in Champagne).  And the wine is also very different than most Lambruschi: super dry, inky, purple and frothy in the glass.  It smells intense, like dark, wild berries and violets but the palate is friendly, juicy yet dry with a little bit and notes of leather, blackberry and black olives on the palate.  The perfect pizza wine!   But also quite festive and fun on its own. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rock Juice Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53246943396152,"sku":"kqh1792016828113","price":18.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/5480\/2488\/files\/2020-storchi-pozzoferrato-lambrusco_1.jpg?v=1792016835","url":"https:\/\/sailingclubfit.shop\/products\/2020-storchi-pozzoferrato-lambrusco","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
