Lambrusco dell'Emilia IGT 'Solco', Paltrinieri
Regular price £19.99Cheese Lady Recommends
About the Wine
A wonderfully expressive sparkling red from Emilia-Romagna, Solco is a delightful reminder of just how sophisticated Lambrusco can be.
Made from the Salamino grape, this gently sparkling, off-dry wine bursts with luscious dark fruit flavours of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and cherries. Its generous fruitiness is beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity and soft, lively bubbles, creating a wine that is both indulgent and remarkably easy to enjoy.
Rich in colour yet wonderfully fresh on the palate, Solco is particularly delicious alongside Italian charcuterie, Parmigiano Reggiano and other mature, savoury cheeses. Serve lightly chilled to appreciate its vibrant fruit and irresistible charm.
About the Producer
Founded in 1926, Paltrinieri is a family-run winery in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, now in the hands of fourth-generation winemakers Alberto Paltrinieri and his wife Barbara.
Since taking over in 1989, Alberto has helped transform perceptions of Lambrusco, championing its potential as a serious, expressive wine. The estate is particularly celebrated for pioneering single-variety Lambrusco di Sorbara, showcasing the elegance and individuality of this traditional local grape.
The family's 17 hectares of vineyards lie between the Secchia and Panaro rivers, where they follow organic farming principles and favour minimal intervention in the cellar. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts helps preserve the natural character of the grapes, producing authentic, beautifully balanced wines that celebrate the distinctive terroir of Emilia-Romagna.
