Lambrusco has come a long way since the days of Riunite on ice (some of you may recall that ad campaign). In fact, it's a delicious sparkling red wine that serves as a partner to casual fare, heralding from the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna. There's a little sweetness on most styles, including this one, just enough to make it ideal with things like pizza, paninis, or a burger with caramelized onions. The grape has about 10 known sub-varieties, this one is a blend of 85% Salamino and 15% Malbo.
750 ml Low StockThis is no wallflower Lambrusco, it kicks off with a big blast of blue fruits, a little sweetness and some Concorde grape notes, not to mention some tannic grip. It's great stuff, serve it chilled with the appropriate fare.
