MODENA SPARKLING WINES - SO ROSE, CASTELVETRO DI MODENA

Castelvetro di Modena, is a small medieval gem of a village in the hills around Modena which we extensively toured in search of something special. The vineyards are planted mainly to Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro and Pignoletto (Grechetto Gentile), two native grape varieties which are the heart and soul of Emilia tradition. The wines that are produced on the estate become sparkling wines thanks to natural fermentation, fully preserving their organoleptic characteristics. It is a classic area for sparkling wines and there is only one non- sparkling wine using one grape produced in this area.

Castelvetro di Modena is where we found our wonderful smooth and enjoyable SO ROSÉ.
