Cavicchioli Pignoletto

A refined sparkling Italian white that offers that step up in quality from Prosecco, despite the similar price tag. Dry, delicate and slightly aromatic Cavicchioli Pignoletto 1928 Modena is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with all meals, or just have it as an aperitif. Light straw yellow in colour, the pour displays a creamy white crystalline foam with fine, persistent perlage. The nose has aromatic nuances of white flowers and jasmine, whilst the palate is dry and soft with a long finish of floral sensations. Although this will pair with pretty much anything, it is ideal as an aperitif, with risotto, tortellini or fish dishes.

Cavicchioli is synonymous with Lambrusco in Italy. Located in Emilia-Romagna, the winery is a stone’s throw from some of the most famous centres of Italian gastronomy: Parma, Modena and Bologna. So, it is no mean feat that the winemakers are seen as an institution and over the generations the wine has played an important role in the local Modenese community.

Founded in 1928 after Umberto Cavicchioli decided to turn the laboratory behind his house into a winery, the innovation continues today.
