Food pairing: This dry, frizzante Lambrusco is a natural match for rich, savory foods, pairing well with cured meats, hearty pork dishes, and aged cheeses. Its vibrant acidity and fine bubbles cut beautifully through fattier textures, making it especially satisfying with salumi boards, fried appetizers, and classic Emilia‑Romagna fare. The wine’s dark‑fruit depth and gentle tannic grip also stand up wonderfully to pizza, barbecue, and even spicy dishes, offering a refreshing lift with every sip.

Winery Story: Fattoria Moretto is a family‑run estate founded by Domenico and Albertina Altariva, who began farming their land naturally from the start. Their sons, Fabio and Fausto, joined in 1991, expanding the vineyards, building a new winery, and bottling their own wines. By 1997, the estate became fully organic. They specialize in Lambrusco Grasparossa, producing deeply expressive, terroir‑driven wines that highlight the grape’s intensity and the region’s gastronomic heritage.
