About the Wine
It’s no secret that we at Wayward love the sparkling wines of Emilia-Romagna. Fizz with bracing acidity, savoury spice and bitter herbs which make so much sense on a table alongside some cheese and charcuterie. ‘Ferrando’ is no exception - a beautiful sparkling rosato of Lambrusco Salamino.
The grapes only spend a night infusing with their skins, leaving a light, bright wine that is a beautiful shade of pink. Initially fermented in vat, the wine is transferred to bottle with a little must for the second fermentation. The result is a vibrant, cloudy sparkling wine that sings with flavours of blood orange, earth and bitter herbs. Simply a joyous wine that’s been made with good times, good food and good company in mind.
About Quarticello
From his family’s vineyards in Montecchio Emilia, Roberto Maestri makes a handful of sparkling wines which embody everything we love about the region. Uplifting, nourishing wines which are endlessly refreshing, made with good times and good meals in mind. These sparklers make so much sense on the table next to hunks of salumi and cheese.
Roberto began in the early 2000’s and now farms 10 hectares of vines planted on clay-gravel soils. The focus here is on local varieties such as Spergola, Malvasia di Candia and Malbo Gentile, along with many kinds of Lambrusco. This is as traditionally Emilia-Romagnan as you can get! In the vineyard, Roberto follows biodynamic principals and immense care is taken to ensure the upmost respect for nature. In the cellar, the sparkling wines are all made the traditional way, using only wild yeasts and with second fermentation taking place in bottle.
