Fragolino is an aromatized sparkling red wine made with 70% Montepulciano and 30% Barbera grapes, with a drop (0.1%) of natural Wild Strawberry aroma.
Color: Brilliant ruby red with violet reflections Bouquet: Intensely aromatic of sweet, ripe strawberries. Taste: Fruity and inviting, with ripe, buoyant strawberry flavor. Delightfully effervescent and sweet with a lingering finish.
In the past, Fragolinos were made from the “Isabella” grape, sometimes called ‘uva fragola’, which translates to strawberry grape. This kind of grape does not belong to the Vitis Vinifera family, but to the Vitis Labrusca. The original Fragolino has been banned in Europe because it is difficult to control methanol levels during wine production and methanol can be poisonous.
