Lambrusco Salamino


   The Vitis catalog lists almost a dozen varieties of Lambrusco – lots of chances to explore this food-friendly wine. This organic product from Azienda Agricola Luciano Saetti near Modena is grape soda with a bitter cherry finish.
   Cost is mid-teens from Chambers Street Wines in NYC; also available right now from De-Vino Boutique there.
   Dry, light-bodied and effervescent, this was a good match for one of the Family Reunion Pizza Night choices – cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, with a layer of fresh arugula added as soon as the pie came out of the oven.
