Established in 1925 by Alfredo Bertolani in Scandiano, the Bertolani winery, now in its fourth generation, embodies a legacy of superior Lambrusco. Nestled in Reggio Emilia's southern foothills, Scandiano benefits from Bertolani's meticulous winemaking and deep respect for regional traits. With 84% of vineyards in plains and 15% in hills, Bertolani sources grapes from both terrains. The commitment to sustainability is evident in their 2008 winery, designed for a minimal environmental footprint. Bertolani Dolce Fiore, hailing from a renowned appellation, reflects meticulous care and showcases the vineyard's exceptional qualities, presenting an elegant harmony of ripe fruits and subtle florals.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The bouquet of this wine is a delightful interplay of lovely floral notes, featuring enchanting aromas of plum, blackberry, cocoa, and a hint of cinnamon.On the palate, the experience unfolds with sweetness, a lush and round character that captivates the senses. There's a slightly high-toned quality adding to the wine's showy personality. The finish is broad, sweet, and long-lasting, leaving a memorable impression. The dusty tannins provide structure, and while the complexity is moderate, it enhances the overall appeal. Crafted from a blend of Salamino, Malbo Gentile, and Ancellotta, this wine is a harmonious composition that showcases both elegance and vibrancy.
