Gualtieri Bucciamara Selezione Rosso

This remarkably vibrant, bold, and characterful sparkling Italian red wine represents the quintessential soul of the Emilia-Romagna lowlands. It opens with a vigorous and intense bouquet of ripe medlars, wild sloe berries, and dark blackberries, beautifully accented by fresh, grapey top-notes reminiscent of freshly pressed grape skins. On the medium-bodied palate, it showcases a full, mouth-filling texture driven by a generous, persistent froth and an energetic regional acidity. A surprisingly robust, fleshy core of dark wild fruits provides magnificent personality and architectural heft, carrying through into a dry, beautifully balanced, and pleasantly savory finish.

Food Pairing: A phenomenal partner for rich, traditional gastronomy; pairs seamlessly with zampone, cotechino sausage, slow-cooked pork belly with lentils, or a curious pairing of donkey stew with creamy polenta.
