Juicy, rustic, charming.
I'm delighted to see Lambrusco appearing on our shelves. My fondest memories are sipping it chilled with a simple margarita pizza on the rooftop of the Gambero Rosso offices in Rome several years ago.
Made from the indigenous Sorba and Salamino grape varieties, this fresh and fruity ruby-red frizzante offers juicy red berries, maraschino cherry, leather, rose petals, tealeaf and cedar. The entry is purely and lively sweet ruby fruit but it finishes dry. It is a simple rustic wine, but does not lack structure. Fun, juicy and refreshing.
Pair: Traditional Italian pizza, Italian cheese, antipasti or rustic pastas.
