Villa di Corlo “Corleto” Lambrusco Non-Vintage (Italy)

Producer: 
Villa di Corlo
Item name: 
"Corleto" Lambrusco
Wine type: 
Red
Reviewer: 
David Leclaire

I know, you’re thinking “Riunite”. Forget about it, this is a classy, dry version, with a moderate amount of bubbles, what the Italians call "frizzante." At 11.5 % alchohol there is just hint of fruit, best served alone or with a beet and arugula salad. Perfect as the first, or last wine, of the night! This is an artisanal version of lambrusco, easy to love and to surprise your friends and guests with.
