Winemaker Notes
Intense ruby red, very bright. Intense notes of fresh red fruit, strawberries, raspberries, and cherries; great clean smell with intensity and persistence. Dry but fruity at the same time, round, fresh, lively and pleasantly harmonious; very clean wine with a great balance between acidity and tannins.
Pairs well with meats, such as feline salami, mortadella, salted pork, ham; tortellini and cappelletti in broth, lasagna, tagliatelle with meat sauce, pumpkin ravioli.

Dried blueberries, cassis, citrus and spices. This has good focus on the palate with a fine line of bubbles, direct acidity and a bright finish.

COMMENTARY: Who drinks Lambrusco? The answer is more people than the knowledgeable wine community would admit. The 2017 Medici Ermete Concerto Lambrusco Reggiano is an excellent reason to give this category a chance. TASTING NOTES: This wine is delicious, evocative, and zesty. Its deep aromas and flavors of black fruit and bright and lasting. Enjoy it with flavorful appetizers. (Tasted: March 5, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

Wine Spectator
A bright and tangy Lambrusco, with aromatic hints of herb, graphite and balsamic accenting the brambly crushed black currant, raspberry, orange peel and fig flavors. Well-balanced and lively. Drink now through 2020.

For over a century, Medici Ermete has been producing an exquisite range of Lambrusco. Remigio Medici founded the winery in the late nineteenth century, with the aim of making the best possible wines from the family vineyards, located between the Via Emilia and the first of the hills in the Enza valley. Remigio's son Ermete expanded the business before handing over the reins to his sons Valter and Giorgio, who carried on the work of their father and grandfather.
Today the company owns 60 hectares of land spread out among the finest wine-growing areas in Emilia-Romagna and is focused on producing Lambrusco of exceptional quality and freshness by using estate grown at low yields and employing meticulous and skillful winemaking. Medici Ermete is considered to be one of the premier producers of Lambrusco and was recognized for taking Lambrusco to new heights with a Tre Bicchieri award for their top bottling- the single vineyard Concerto.
Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.
Extending from the Adriatic coast in the east, to the border of the Mediterranean Ligurian region in the west, Emilia Romagna is a large, central Italian region focused on a wide array of gastronomic specialties. The plains of Emilia host four well-defined subzones for its famous, lightly sparkling red, Lambrusco. The more coastal Romagna has the capacity to produce impressive wines from Sangiovese and Albana.
