Winemaker
The Storchi family farms organically in Emilia. Their work keeps local grape varieties and the region's agricultural traditions connected to the everyday table.

Wine
Pozzoferrato combines Ancellotta and Lambrusco varieties, with bottle fermentation giving the depth of a red the lift of a frizzante. Black cherry fruit, a herbal note and a dry, lively froth. The tannin is present but fine, giving the bubbles something to carry. Chill it and serve with salumi, rich pasta or pork from the grill; this is a bottle that makes most sense around a busy table.

Origin
Emilia lies between the Po plain and the northern Apennines. Its vineyard landscape includes clay and alluvial soils, with warm summers that develop generous fruit. The local grapes' acidity is particularly useful in keeping red sparkling wines bright at the table.
