A lively, frizzante natural Lambrusco from Emilia-Romagna, made to be drunk the way Italians actually drink it: chilled, with food, and in good company, without ceremony or pretension.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-violet with a lively natural fizz. The nose is fresh and fragrant with aromas of wild cherry, blackberry, violet, and earthy undertones. On the palate it is light to medium bodied, dry, and refreshing, with a pleasant tannin and a clean, slightly bitter finish. Not the sweet supermarket Lambrusco. This is the real thing.
