Lambrusco Grasparossa Tasso Fattoria Moretto Review And Tasting Notes
Fattoria Moretto’s Lambrusco Grasparossa Tasso is a direct, convivial, clean wine, a friend whom one could share the table every day.
This is the right bottle to uncork if you want to know the true, artisanal, and uncompromising face of Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro. Fattoria Moretto is one of the few wineries in Castelvetro that produces authentic wines in an impeccable, organic way, with passion and seriousness, not the grape-flavored drinks with which the Modenese wineries have invaded the world.
This Grasparossa Tasso is dry, certainly fruity, but it does not give up for a moment. It is not sweetened. It does not skimp when it comes to bringing out tannins and sharp acidity. So forget about the excellent industrial Lambrusco. Just unclog the sinks and get ready for a cascade of freshness.
Just think about this fact: the vines from which this Lambrusco is born are trained with spurred cordon, and the maximum production per hectare is 80 quintals. But let’s move on to the comment.
The bouquet
Delicate and aromatic nose with raspberries, strawberries, cherries, roses, geraniums, and mentholated features with iodine tips. Clean, snappy, and very pleasant.
The taste
In the mouth, it is equally direct and crunchy. It moves with agility and excellent smoothness, despite a good structure. The tannins are felt, but they do not dry out. The acidity supports the rhythm and pushes the wine, keeping it always vigorous. Perfect balance, infinite pleasure. It is the quintessence of Lambrusco di Grasparossa, by a winemaker who cultivates his vineyard and not by winemakers who work miracles with chemistry. Good drink.
Price
Ten euros: unbeatable price.
