<td bgcolor="#f1eef2"><span class="text"><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">Lambrusco Sorbara grapes are hand-picked the second week of September, crushed in a pneumatic soft  press and subsequently fermented at controlled temperature into stainless steel tanks up to 8-9%  alcohol. The freshly fermented wine is kept at low temperature on its lees until February following the  harvest, when a secondary fermentation is activated in Inox tanks (Charmat method) to produce natural effervescence and carbonic pressure. This is a bone-dry sparkler with less than 2 gr/lt of residual sugar.</span></span></span></td>
