Tasting note

Deep pink and beautifully textured, with aromas of raspberry, strawberry and delicate dried rose petals. The palate is savoury and fresh, bringing fine cherry and red berry fruit, with a dry, sustained finish and a gentle mousse.

Food pairing

Brilliant with charcuterie — especially Parma ham or Culatello — but equally good alongside something crispy and salty like fish tempura.

The winemaker

Cantina di Soliera is based in the Soliera area of Modena, Emilia-Romagna, with the grapes for Il Trovador sourced from selected local plots. The wine is made traditionally: a dry base wine is bottled with a small addition of sweeter Lambrusco di Sorbara wine, before a pied de cuve is used to kick-start the second fermentation in bottle. It remains undisgorged, giving the wine its characterful appearance and texture.

The region

Soliera sits in the province of Modena in Emilia-Romagna, the heartland of Lambrusco. Here, Lambrusco di Sorbara thrives in the area's sandy-clay soils, producing wines known for their freshness, bright acidity and delicate red-fruit character. The region's famously food-focused culture makes these lightly sparkling reds particularly well suited to the table.
