Rosso Viola Lambrusco

An experiment to see how this premium Lambrusco would play at 4 years. Still vital & less Brett after opening, a bit longer & suave with certainly less fizz. Cassis & black fruits somehow elegant. Perhaps I’m smitten w that paper wrapping under the wire cage.

Funkiest Lambrusco I’ve had. Likely Serapateona grape variety based on color. No sulfur additions per the producer. Wow.

Such elegance: quite a bit of Brett has to blow off, & the sour patch uni- dimension opens up to a purer, layered light cherry palate & nose. Beautiful bottle too, with a paper wrap under the capsule and a heavy, well constructed bottle. Dressner importer

I used to drink Linni Lambrusco (& I still will) but once I found this in my local wine shop....Dry dry but with a lovely raspberry mousse flavor, a sharp acidity. A well constructed bottle too, w foil wrapping beneath the capsule. And goes with most food- thyme scented beef lasagna from the farmers market in this case.

Lambrusco is the perfect warm weather wine. This has the nose of dirt (that is a good thing) and the palate of lavender, cherry🍒, olives and cured meat. Speaking of cured meat, this fizzy red (serve chilled for optimal perfection) is 👌 with Sopresatta , Finocchiona and Prosciutto. Also, some fancy cheese (dinner is served-you’re welcome💁🏻‍♀️). Oh and the label is sewn and possibly denim so that’s pretty cool. A.must.try.

the king (queen) of Lambrusco! plus, it’s got a freakin’ denim label. how cool is that!

Has become one of my favorite Lambruscos so of course hard to find. Fine, fine persistence w mousse, bitter but toyingly so, like good dark chocolate. Dressner book.

My true Lambrusco love - earthy (farty) crunchy red berries and pomegranate, super dry, juicy acid, great level of frizz. Woven cloth label is not to be ignored. This is such a killer food wine - muffaletta sandwich from Lucca for lunch and leftover Indian for dinner. Detecting an inkling of mouse at dinner so drink quickly. Shouldn’t be hard.
