Vintage 2019 | good advice, to combine this wine with several saucissons (au truffle, canard poivre very, aux cepes). The frivolous acidity plays a game with the fat of the French sausages. Hints of strawberries. The acidity remind me of geuze beers. Vibrant. Playful. A dangerous wine, as my wife and I saw the bottle dwindle in half an hour. Top notch summer wine.

This toes the line between light red and dark pink...acidic and piercing but it has...knee pads. Softness and a bite all at once. Flowers and raspberry vinegar and stones. Fabulous.

Stewed strawberries, rhubarb, hint of balsamic. Bone dry & high acid. Fine mousse. This is done in méthode ancestrale. 2013 vintage

Oh Lambrusco, may my heart stand still- never stray for too long without you: fine, persistent mouse & bubbles; pink rose color, wild strawberries & raspberries on the nose, & remarkable fresh, lip smacking acidity. Lighter Sorbara varietal went well surprisingly with food. Very elegant

More rosé like Lambrusco than red, smells like pet nat (bottle fermented).
