Lambrusco comes in all possible shades of red, depending on which variety of the Lambrusco family is being used. Rarely, but still, it is also available in a rosé version, and in terms of quality, it holds its own against its red counterparts.
Specifically, the two main varieties from the Emilian plain, Sorbara and Salamino di Santa Croce, are perfect for this. Both have a solid base acidity and perfectly translate their delicate aromas into the rosé interpretations.
Gianluca exclusively uses Salamino grapes for Perfranco. After an initial vinification and a subsequent six-month maturation in a concrete egg, he injects the wine with a shot of sweet must reserve (instead of sugar and cultivated yeasts) and ferments it a second time in the bottle.
