“Fine” Lambrusco dell’Emilia Rosato Spumante

Gianluca’s only metodo classico (“Champagne method”) wine, “Fine” is pure Sorbara that spends two years on its lees for secondary fermentation before a disgorgement without dosage. In its soaring acidity and in the wild immediacy of its fruit, “Fine” is of a piece with the rest of Terrevive’s lineup; however, its bubbles are finer (pun intended?) and more active, and the wine enters and coats the palate with a rounder, softer touch—as one would expect given its method of production. It offers delicious flavors of crunchy pear, pomegranate, and anise, and it finishes with a long, slow descrescendo.
