Società Agricola Pezzuoli is a historic, family-run estate located in Maranello and Castelvetro di Modena, in the traditional heartland of Lambrusco Grasparossa production in Emilia-Romagna. Founded in 1932, the estate spans over 70 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards situated on gentle clay and gravel slopes.
The Pezzuoli family focuses heavily on site-specific viticulture, managing their vines with minimal chemical intervention and cover cropping to preserve soil health. In the cellar, winemaking honors local Modena traditions while employing modern temperature control: low-temperature fermentations, native yeast usage, and precise pressurized tank aging to retain pure fruit aromatics and dark structural color.
Pezzuoli’s Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro NV is a benchmark expression of the darkest, most tannic, and full-bodied of all the Lambrusco clones. Grown on clay-limestone soils near the Modenese hills, the hand-picked grapes are destemmed and undergo a gentle skin maceration to extract intense ruby-purple hues and fine phenolic grip.
The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in pressurized stainless steel tanks (Charmat method) at low temperatures to lock in delicate floral and dark berry aromas.
Fresh blackberry, dark plum, wild violet, sour cherry, and crushed earth, with a lively persistent froth, vibrant natural acidity, fine rustic tannins, and a crisp, bone-dry finish
