Description

Farmed from 6.5 hectares of biodynamically grown grapes in the medieval village of Castelvetro di Modena, in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, winemaker Max Brondolo is helping to keep many ancient grape varieties alive and in the public consciousness. The Podere Sottoilnoce Saldalama includes 10% white grapes, which makes it a little bit more interesting and vibrant.

If you're a fan of red Aussie sparklings made from shiraz, then you'll be in the same ballpark with the Podere Sottoilnoce Saldalama, although with a different flavour profile. Here you have lots of savoury characters such as meat, forest floor and spice, as well as dried and fresh red fruits, making it a great pairing with savoury, meat-based dishes.

92 Points - "This is red grape with some white grape in it, but a Lambrusco just the same. Savoury elements strong in this wine, but it doesn’t forget to be refreshing, chewy and crunchy, and all things great that are Lambrusco. Game meat, woody spice, turned earth, undergrowth and dried and fresh cherry and cranberry. Vibrant expression, delicious." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

    Severe Brett fault

    I bought 2 bottles of this for a special dinner at fairly great expense, poured it down the sink. All we could taste was burned rubber and band aids. Really disappointing. Suspect a brettanomyces fault. Natural wine living up to its unstable nature.

    Sparkling Surprise!

    Forget what you ever thought of Lambrusco, and discover what beauty can be made from it, with this Italian stunner. This has real body, and fans of Aussie sparkling reds will love this, and the fact it has all the hallmarks of great Italian reds from Central Italy. It’s bright, savory and spicy - a delicious mouth filler just ready for meaty Autum goodness on the lunch table. Something refreshing, vibrant, different and a top recommendation from me.

Max Brondolo started Podere Sottoilnoce in 2016; 6.5 ha of beautiful vineyards located all around Castelvetro di Modena, hills for Lambrusco at its best and pastures for Parmigiano Reggiano.
These bottle-refermented sparkling wines made with local - and sometimes forgotten grapes, both black and white, really blown my mind when I first tried them.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
