"We're proud of our Lambrusco, which has been a speciality of ours for over 80 years. Over time, we've carefully developed it to make it ever more appealing and, above all, suited to different food pairings. Today, OTELLO CECI is unique and unmistakable. We've been exporting it to China for around a decade, and since 2018 in partnership with ROYI Fine Wine -- BUTTIS IF&B. It's enjoyed by a young public, who recognise its inimitable lightness and flavour, a real Italian product, capable of taking centre stage in unforgettable moments", says Maria Paola Ceci, President of CECI 1938.
"A glass of Ceci Lambrusco is more than just a glass of wine. Lambrusco is perfect for entertaining company because it encourages a smile, fuels happiness, and generates optimism. It makes you see the world in red and live the days with the typical lightness of its bubbles", adds Maria Teresa Ceci, CEO of Ceci 1938.
Among friends, with the family, for an "Italian Style" aperitif, over lunch or dinner, OTELLO CECI captivates with its fruity notes such as cherry and berries like blackberry and strawberry. Hints of floral violet notes accompany the pleasantly spicy, mineral finish.
The ultimate Lambrusco with a multifaceted personality, OTELLO CECI has a rich palette of colours, from the intense ruby red of the nectar to the lighter crimson of the froth that forms when pouring and lights up the glass brilliantly. A lively, full-bodied wine with a sparkling, social character and a smooth flavour, to be enjoyed cold.
A wine of contrasts, whose exuberant personality blends perfectly with the minimalist contours of a stylish bottle. The latter is given a bold touch by the unusual square base, a regular, discreet shape that is adopted on the labels, where the words toy with one another in an exchange between positive and negative, black and gold with a vintage effect that celebrates Otello Ceci, the creative visionary who founded the winery.
Cantine CECI 1938, an international winery for over 80 years, brings the passion of Italian tradition to the world, together with a forward-looking vision and a relentless desire for innovation. CECI 1938 produces one of the world's best-loved Lambrusco wines -- the famous red bubbles -- a wine that the company has transformed over time into a unique nectar, setting new standards of recognisability. It's a smooth wine, an ode to conviviality that lends itself beautifully to pairing; a true icon of the winery's modernity.
