Cantillon - Drogone Lambic - 75cl

Brasserie Cantillon x Cantina Giardino – Drogone Lambic (75 cl)

Brasserie Cantillon

Drogone Lambic is a rare and highly original collaboration between the legendary Brussels-based Brasserie Cantillon and the Italian natural wine estate Cantina Giardino.

This experimental and expressive blend combines 3-year-old spontaneously fermented lambic with Aglianico grape pomace, previously macerated for three months in chestnut barrels. The result is a hybrid creation that bridges the worlds of traditional Belgian lambic and southern Italian natural wine.

The addition of Aglianico (around 300 g/L of grapes used) brings a distinctive vinous dimension: structure, dark fruit depth, and aromatic complexity, layered over the classic Cantillon acidity and wild fermentation profile.

Tasting profile

Drogone offers a highly evolving aromatic profile:

* ripe red cherry, blackberry and plum from the Aglianico
* citrus zest and green apple from the lambic base
* earthy, funky, and barnyard notes typical of spontaneous fermentation
* subtle woody and chestnut influence from barrel aging

On the palate, it is dry, vibrant, and sharply structured, with a complex interplay between sourness, fruit richness, and tannic grip from the grape skins. The texture is unusual and layered, combining beer acidity with vinous structure.

Aging potential

This is a living beer designed for evolution. It can develop significantly over time, gaining oxidative depth, dried fruit notes, and increased complexity over the next decade.

Storage & shipping

The bottle has been stored in perfect cellar conditions at stable temperature (12–15°C range recommended), ensuring optimal preservation.

It will be carefully packed in reinforced protective packaging to guarantee safe transport and delivery in perfect condition.

A truly boundary-pushing creation that showcases the meeting point between Cantillon’s spontaneous fermentation mastery and Cantina Giardino’s expressive natural winemaking philosophy.
