Another
member of central Italy’s
large and friendly Lambrusco family.
Like other
dry, fizzy Lambruscos, this non-vintage wine is intended as a simple pleasure.
The retailer, Astor Wines describes it as “dry with firm acidity and aromas of fresh raspberries and
violets,” adding that it will “evolve for years to come.”
Unfortunately,
this particular bottle had already over-evolved. Several seconds after I popped the (plastic) bouchon,
foam heaved from the bottle. The wine had a sickly gray cast and tasted, Lorrie
thought, “like an inner tube.”
Wines from
this grape that have not gone bad should pair well with pizza or salami.
