Il Rosso Emilia Lambrusco
Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Deep purple. The stuff of grape syrup. You’d guess we may have a sweet Lambrusco here but we most definitely do not. Bone dry as they come and it’s what makes this one interesting. Aromas of dark plums and black cherry and damp cellar. Tannic and so lacking in sugar that you’ll need some food and some salt and Parmesan might just be the perfect thing.

Work held up my road trip to Utah… treated myself to some gyro pizza and natty Lambrusco. Nice and funky but a little too bitter.

I’ve always been a big Lambrusco fan, and at times that set me at odds with some friends who would find Lambrusco too sweet or too frizzy (read Fanta-like). I feel like this wine is my vengeance. Gorgeous, dry Lambrusco, feels like you’re biting into a plum but without the sugar. Am buying two to keep!
