2009 Alborada (Oltrepo Pavese D.O.C.)
We are approaching summer and think we have found the perfect wine for the season. This wine is a unique sparkling red wine called Alborada. A 2009 vintage from Fattoria Il Gambero, a quaint winery from Southwest Lombardia. Operated by Vittorio Ferrario and his wife, the winery is very small, and has a miniscule production yield. The micro-climate of this particular region of Lombardia, which makes this wine unique and easy-going. The Alborada is slightly sparkling, fruit-forward, fresh, and should be served slightly chilled. The perfect combination with a hot summer day. The wine is made with 100% Croatina grape, and would match perfectly with seafood appetizers, cold-cuts, and carne cruda.
We have included a short video, which shows the 2009 harvest.
