Paltrinieri: masters of Lambrusco di Sorbara

The Paltrinieri winery is a benchmark in the production of Lambrusco di Sorbara, the most elegant and delicate of the Emilian Lambruscos. A family history spanning generations, rooted in the Modenese countryside, which has made the enhancement of the Sorbara grape variety its signature style.

Lambrusco di Sorbara, a wine unlike you imagine

Sorbara is a distinctive grape variety: it flowers with difficulty and produces loose clusters with few berries. This scarcity gives rise to wines with a light color—more cherry-blossom pink than red—an intense aroma of violets and wild strawberries, and a taut, citrusy palate with lively acidity and a dry finish. It is not a sweet wine, nor is it a simple wine: it is one of Italy's most food-friendly sparkling reds, capable of holding its own against far more celebrated sparkling wines.

The Modenese territory

The vineyards are located in the historic Sorbara area, in the plain between the Secchia and Panaro rivers: sandy and alluvial soils that give the wines aromatic finesse and lightness. It is the same territory as traditional balsamic vinegar and Parmigiano Reggiano, an environment where wine was created above all to be enjoyed at the table.

Pairings: the Emilian table wine

Lambrusco di Sorbara was born for Emilian cuisine and proves it with every sip. Try it with tortellini in broth, tigelle and fried gnocco, cured meats such as Modena prosciutto, culatello and mortadella, and Parmigiano Reggiano, where the wine's acidity cleanses the palate of the richness. It also works surprisingly well with fried foods, pizza, and flavorful fish dishes. Serve it chilled, at 8-10 °C, in a wide glass rather than a flute, to allow the aromas to express themselves.

Why choose Paltrinieri

• Absolute specialization in the Sorbara grape variety
• Family tradition and stylistic continuity over time
• Dry, vertical, and food-friendly wines, far from the stereotypes about Lambrusco
• An excellent starting point for discovering the wine region of Emilia

A tip: Lambrusco di Sorbara is best enjoyed young, within a couple of years of the harvest, when the mousse is finer and the fruit more distinct. Store it in a cool place away from light and refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving.
