HOW IT'S MADE
Otello Ceci is made through the traditional Charmat method. This creates a dry, terroir-driven wine with a subtle, refreshing effervescence.
A sparkling red wine inspired by tradition and refreshed for today.
ABOUT OTELLO CECI
GRANDFATHERED IN
Our grandfather Otello Ceci had a passion for making quality Lambrusco that appealed to everyone. Now the rest of the world is catching up.
80 years later, our family business remains committed to making Lambrusco that is versatile enough to be enjoyed on its own, chilled, over ice, or as a cocktail and enjoyed in whatever type of glass you want.
Otello Ceci Lambrusco is a reflection of our family's dedication to our craft and love of our home in Parma, Italy.
This is our tribute to the man who started it all.
THE WINE
RED DIFFERENTLY
WHERE IT COMES FROM
We work with small, local growers to select the perfect grapes for our Lambrusco. We've curated a network of over 400 sites that allow us to source a complex combination for layers of flavor true to our home in Parma.
WHERE IT ALL STARTED
Otello Ceci owned a beloved trattoria in Parma, Italy. There he served regional favorites including Parmesan-Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma. But it was his wine that stole the show.
Honor tradition but never become bound by it. Be fiercely passionate and equally generous. Value creativity, originality and fresh perspective and above all, never, ever stop innovating. Our great grandfather Otello Ceci lived by these principles.
80 years later, we, the third generation of the Ceci family, remain committed to his legacy of authenticity, quality and innovation. We knew this was our calling from a young age.
No one ever had to tell us. We are inspired by Otello Ceci's tenacity. We strive daily to be better. To do things differently. To do Red Differently.
WINE STYLE
Otello Ceci is a remarkably refreshing sparkling red wine. Slightly effervescent with notes of ripe strawberry, raspberry, dark plum and violet. It is medium-dry and full-bodied, with a smooth, velvety texture.
PAIRINGS
Pair with other classic Parma dishes like Parmesan Reggiano cheese or prosciutto. Our Lambrusco also has the perfect relationship with pizza.
