Mention Honorable Vecchia Modena Premium Lambrusco di Sorbara
Sorbara, Modena , Emilia-Romagna, Italy
SUPER delicious dry rosé Lambrusco. Ridiculously gulpable. Nose and palate like blood orange, raspberry, and strawberry cream hard candy, pure, riverbed stone minerality, and a slight bit of lager-y yeastiness. Fantastic with a margherita pizza. Screaming acid, light and delicately framed but with great texture from a fine bead of moderate-intensity bubbles. Like adult soda. This will be in my rotation a lot this summer, I'm sure.

2015v. Light pink and effervescent. Strawberry and chalky nose (like a red Flintstone vitamin). Mostly dry on palette, with just a touch of tannins, and plenty of refreshing and palette-cleansing acid. The fizz makes for a nice mouthfeel. Overall, a versatile food wine and a great example of a proper, dry lambrusco. 12% ABV. Available at Centrolina, City Center - Washington, DC.
