Foiéta
Lambrusco Emilia IGP Cuvée

Foièta: a wine of authentic intensity perfect for those not accustomed to the traditional taste of Lambrusco. Although classified among dry wines, it presents a slightly higher residual sugar content than average, making it more approachable and enjoyable for every palate. The grapes contributing to this cuvée are Salamino, Malbo Gentile, Ancellotta, and a small percentage (about 5%) of Emilia’s Cabernet Sauvignon. Its clear ruby color captures the eye, anticipating a unique sensory experience. In the Emilian tradition, it is customary to pour this wine into a small bowl specifically called “foièta,” accompanying it with cappelletti in broth, creating a blend of flavors and traditions.
