Italy's Most Beloved Sparkling Red — Lambrusco Done Right
Famiglia Carafoli has been producing Lambrusco in Modena for three generations, with brothers Carlo, Paolo, and Mario carrying on the family legacy using a blend of cutting-edge techniques and meticulously restored traditional machinery. Nicchia — named after the late 19th-century Countess of Castiglione whose portrait graces the label — is the quintessential Lambrusco di Modena: frizzante, medium-sweet, and irresistibly food-friendly, with the bright acidity and low alcohol (8.5% ABV) that make it one of Italy's most versatile and enjoyable wines.
Winemaker Notes
Full ruby-red color with a lively frizzante sparkle. Fruity and fragrant on the nose with notes of black plum, cherry, and currants. A touch of sweetness on the palate is beautifully balanced by bright acidity, leading to a clean, lingering finish. Best enjoyed with a slight chill.
