Concerto Reggiano Lambrusco 2015
Emilia-Romagna, ItalyIf you eschew Lambrusco because of the sweet, candied wines of your past, give some authentic and serious Lambrusco a try. Swing of dark balsamic, wild blackberry, tart black currant and grippy thorns in this single-vineyard Lambrusco, traditional method and lightly effervescent (serve lightly chilled). This comes from Tenuta La Rampata vineyard in Reggio Emilia province. Deep and dark in hue but light and crisp in acidity, this is a blend of 85/15 Lambrusco Salamino and Lambrusco Ancelotta, the former a tannic and deeply coloured grape and the latter a gentler, slightly sweeter grape, used to soften the blend. Grilled sausages or cured meats win here.Tasted: 03 October 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $19.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
