Concerto Reggiano Lambrusco 2016
Emilia-Romagna, ItalyThere was a time when the mention of lambrusco would send me in the opposite direction at tastings, now I stop, listen and taste. The name refers to a wine made from the eponymous Italian grape grown in eight DOC regions across Emilia Romagna. The Concerto is the perfect wine to speak to the renaissance of this variety. The nose and palate are a mix of balsamic, savoury, wild, red berries with some tartness to counterbalance any natural sweetness. It’s single-vineyard, traditional method sparkler that is lightly effervescent and best serve chilled. Grilled sausages, cured meats, turkey or a favourite vegetarian lasagne recipe all work here.Tasted: 24 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $19.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
