description
VS is a sparkling Lambrusco, only made with grapes of local grape varieties coming from the area of Viadana, purely grown and selected within the area of the municipalities of Viadana and Sabbioneta, where this grape variety has been grown for centuries: from these two towns it takes its name, V stands for Viadana and S for Sabbioneta. VS is the result of the longest lasting selection of local grape varieties from the area of Viadana, it’s a historical kind of wine, that has been produced for decades, without any specific processing: simply the result of the local grape variety of its historical land of production, the most faithful sensory narration of the area. This grape variety from Viadana releases in this bottle, thanks to the features of the land where it grows, a harmony of flavours and scents with a peculiar strong purple coloured foam. Up until last century, only few knew of the Viadanese grape variety, which is widespread only around Viadana and Sabbioneta. When the agronomist and economist Ugo Ruberti discovered it, at the end of the nineteenth century, he particularly appreciated it and contributed to its spreading through the whole area surrounding Mantova.
