From the importer: Cantina Fratelli Carafoli was founded in Ravarino, a small village in Modena by Mauro Carafoli in 1919. Just kilometers away from the town of Sorbara, Carafoli has excelled in the production of Lambrusco and Lambrusco di Sorbara. This third generation cantina elevates the quality of their wine by both vineyard expansions (the purchase of 20 ha of Sorbara) as well as advancements in technology. This wine is named for Virginia Oldoini (nicknamed Nicchia), the Countess of Castiglione. Nicchia was an an Italian courtesan turned secret agent, who was sent to Paris to plead for Italian unification under Napoleon III. Nicchia is also credited with persuading Otto von Bismarck to avoid the post-Franco-Prussian War occupation of Paris.
A rustically styled lambrusco with a fresh green nose and a fully fruity palate lushed with maraschino cherries and overripe blackberries.
