== Description ==
Cantillon Cantina Giardino Sophia Lambic is a lambic blended with two expressions, both made the pommace of Greco di Tufo grapes that had previously been aged in collaboration with amphorae coming from [httphttps://tuttowines.com/growersproducers/cantina-giardino / Cantina Giardino], a winemaker in Italy using two different types Greco grapes. The collaboration was announced in March of 2017 on Cantillon's Facebook page. It is currently unreleased, but has shown up at various festivals listed as well as for limited on-site consumption starting 6.5% ABV and is bottled in 201875cl bottles.
=History / Other Notes=
Early bottlings and experiments with Cantina Giardino's Greco di Tufo grape pommace were often labeled simply as "Giardino" or "Cantina Giardino" and labeled with the standard yellow Cantillon label. These bottles were mostly handbottled at the brewery and sent out for serving at festivals in Italy before officially being christened Sophia lambic and before being given a proper label.
Expression 1: Lambic matured on In April of 2018, Cantillon noted the following for the first "official" batch. "The Greco wine lees di Tufo we received comes from a six-month long pellicular maceration (the skin of the grapes stays in contact with the liquid rather than being removed) in an amphora. The grapes are then pressed to fully extract their liquid - and we are lucky enough to receive the dry residue, which has now been added to barrels and topped with a chestnut barrelblend of 2 and 3 year old lambics here at the brewery. We’ve called the beer Sophia Lambic to pay homage to the wine originally produced by our friends."==Bottle Log==<center>Expression 2{| class="wikitable" border="1" style="text-align: Twocenter; "|-!
