WINE MAKING PROCESS
Il Campanone Reggiano Lambrusco Rosso Vino Frizzante Secco is produced using a method that involves temperature-controlled fermentation 'in rosso,' meaning on the skins, to extract color and flavor. Following this, a secondary fermentation occurs in autoclaves at controlled temperatures with cultivated yeasts, employing the Charmat method. This process is designed to create the wine's characteristic semi-sparkling nature and preserve its vibrant fruit profile. The grapes are harvested in early October. The producer, Cantine Lombardini, focuses on integrating modern winemaking technologies with traditional practices.
