Description

Lucci Lambrusco Reggiano Secco is a vibrant, dry sparkling red that captures the modern, quality-driven side of Lambrusco. Fresh, energetic, and impeccably food-friendly, it delivers crisp red fruit, floral lift, and refreshing acidity wrapped in fine, lively bubbles—an ideal bottle for both casual enjoyment and the table. Origins & CraftsmanshipProduced in Reggio Emilia, within Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, this wine reflects the historic heartland of Lambrusco. Crafted from indigenous Lambrusco varieties authorized for the Lambrusco Reggiano DOC, the focus is on freshness, purity of fruit, and drinkability. Fermentation and secondary fermentation are managed to preserve vibrant aromatics and create a gentle, persistent effervescence, typically using a temperature-controlled tank method. The Secco designation signals a dry style, with minimal residual sugar, allowing acidity, fruit clarity, and savory nuance to take center stage rather than sweetness. The result is a clean, modern Lambrusco that highlights the grape’s naturally lively character.
