2021 Terrevive 'Rosso' Lambrusco Rosso

Place: Gargallo di Carpi — Emilia-Romagna, ITA

Variety: Lambrusco Sorbara, Lambrusco Salamino

Farming: Biodynamic

Terrevive is the biodynamic project of Gianluca Bergianti, based just outside Modena in Emilia-Romagna. Farming as a full ecosystem, Bergianti works without additions—no cultured yeasts, no adjustments and no dosage—relying instead on spontaneous fermentations and bottle refermentation to create naturally sparkling wines with energy and precision.

‘Rosso’ is a darker, more structured take on Lambrusco, built from a blend of Salamino and Sorbara and made in a méthode traditionnelle style with extended lees ageing. The 2021 is vivid and full of character. Sour cherry, blackberry and blood orange lead, layered with spice, earth and a slightly feral, savoury edge. The palate is juicy but tightly coiled, with bright acidity, fine bubbles and a long, mineral finish. Wild, structured and seriously compelling—Lambrusco with real depth.
