As co-owner with his father Alberto, Alessandro Medici joined the family business as fifth-generation winemaker and brand ambassador for the classic wines of Emilia-Romagna that his family winery makes: refreshing, food-friendly, fizzy red Lambrusco. Alessandro\u2019s aim is to both preserve and evolve the historic family property, and his first project at Medici Ermete was the creation of Phermento, a Lambrusco produced in the ancestral or p\u00e9t-nat method, which embraces ancient techniques and modern winemaking knowledge.<\/p><p>The Medici family\u2019s dedication has been rewarded by the success of its wines worldwide. Today Medici Ermete wines are exported to more than seventy countries around the world. Their message of quality has been resoundingly reinforced by elite accolades such as Gambero Rosso\u2019s coveted \u201cTre Bicchieri\u201d award and the best in show Champion Trophy, earned at the 2010 International Wine Challenge in London.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-7b07fa42 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-top elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7b07fa42\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-529558d8\" data-id=\"529558d8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7513391b elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7513391b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-small\">1.\tHow or why did you become a winemaker?<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15c341e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"15c341e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I officially joined the company on October 1, 2017.

Acidity is therefore essential to obtain a great Lambrusco. The Concerto, our flagship wine, in the 2014 vintage was incredible with an extraordinary acidity and at the same time a great balance.

The world of wine is different and requires much longer and dilated times. It takes time to carry out projects, to produce new wines, to be able to tell about them, and to be able to sell them.
