Winemaker Notes
The Decordi’s reputation for producing great wine grew and with it so did demand. In 1950, the family built a new winery. Not content to rely solely on their reputation, the Decordi family has a history of innvovation in the cellar. In 1964, the winery installed some of the industry’s first automated bottling systems and in 2007 a thermo-regulated warehouse was built.
Today the winery continues to innovate and received the prestigious UNI EN ISO 14001 environmental certification. This international certification is designed to recognize organizations that work to minimize how their operations affect the environment and take steps to continually innovate to prevent adverse changes to the air, water and land.
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.
Made in a handful of wine regions across the globe, red sparkling wine ranges from delicately sweet to bone dry. While styles vary by region, red sparkling wine production methods are often the decision of the winemaker. For serving, cool red sparkling wine down to about 40F to 50F.
