Denny Bini Lambrusco dell’Emilia Rosso NV
Location: Italy, Emilia-Romagna
Winemaker: Denny Bini
Grapes: Lambrusco Marani, Lambrusco Salamino, Lambrusco Maestri, Lambrusco Grasparossa, Ancellotta
Soil: marl, sand
Winemaking: Alcoholic fermentation for 10 days without temperature control, with 5 to 6 days on the skins. Secondary fermentation for 1 month in autoclave
From the Importer PortoVino: Lambrusco and conviviality go hand in hand, and Denny Bini’s red fizz has been a favorite of ours for so many get-togethers that we often informally call it festa, or party. This is a classic Emilian Lambrusco, with a more depth to the fruit, since Denny works so carefully in the vineyard: sweet-sour berries, with that classic Emilian bitter note on the finish.
After too many years of industrially-produced mediocrity, Emilia is now home to a small but growing cell of artisanal producers who are farming carefully and returning to the metodo ancestrale (also know as Pet-Nat) of their great-grandfathers. Denny Bini is one of the humble heroes of this renaissance-revolution. Over the years, he has slowly been changing his career from historic cellar master of well-known Lambrusco estate to someone with his own vineyards and cellar of mostly metodo ancestrale wines.
