Production Details A dry sparkling red made in a traditional Lambrusco style. The wine was barrel-aged for mellowness and completeness, then bottled by méthode champenoise for secondary fermentation and natural carbonation; the producer notes possible slight cloudiness from natural yeast. Primary fermentation used only native yeasts, with no fining or filtration. Windmill is a certified-organic vineyard farmed by Sergio Villanueva for owner Jeff Morgan under Matthiasson's direction. Production was 256 cases.
Tasting Notes Bright red and tart cherries, berries and plums, with stony minerality and a touch of earthiness
Food Pairing Cheese and salumi, meat skewers, and grilled summer vegetables
