More About Quarticello Despina

Discover Emilia-Romagna with this captivating organic wine from Roberto Maestri, crafted with care from Malvasia di Candia grapes harvested from young vines planted over gravel soils.

Embracing organic farming practices and the principles of natural winemaking, Roberto allows the grapes to express their true character. Hand-picked and fermented with natural yeast in cuve, this wine undergoes a unique second fermentation process akin to Pet Nat. Roberto adds a touch of must from the same vineyard before bottling, initiating fermentation in the bottle, leaving the lees to impart their essence.

The result is a delightful lightly sparkling wine, clouded with character and bursting with flavor. Grapefruit notes dance alongside a salty minerality, creating a sensory journey with every sip.

Roberto's dedication to organic viticulture shines through in every aspect of his winemaking. His five hectares of vines, nestled in clay-gravel soils, yield wines that are deceptively simple yet profoundly delicious. Perfect for any occasion, Roberto's wines excel in refreshment and are the ideal companion for tables adorned with salumi or cheese.

Meet the Producer, Quarticello

Quarticello

Style: Winery

Emilia-Romagna understands that wine should often be fun. This is a region built around food, family tables and the sort of lunches that somehow absorb entire afternoons. Quarticello fits perfectly into that culture.

The winery focuses heavily on Lambrusco and other traditional local varieties, producing low-intervention wines that feel alive, energetic and deeply connected to the region. Forget everything you think you know about cheap supermarket Lambrusco. This is a completely different world.

The wines are often lightly sparkling, bright with acidity and packed with dark berry fruit, wild herbs and earthy savoury character. Some bottlings are cloudy and unfiltered, carrying a rustic texture that feels wonderfully old-fashioned in the best possible way.

Natural fermentation and minimal intervention play an important role, but the wines rarely feel deliberately difficult or chaotic. There is freshness and personality here rather than volatility for its own sake.

What makes Quarticello so appealing is that the wines seem built around drinking rather than analysing. Salumi, Parmigiano Reggiano and a chilled bottle of Lambrusco remain one of Italy’s great combinations, and Quarticello understand exactly why.
