NV Alfredo Bertolani, Lambrusco Rosso all'Antica - Vento, Italy (750ml)

The vineyards of Scandiano in the hillsides of the Reggio Emilia province yield a unique Lambrusco grape. The older and steeper land brings out the harmony and sparkling spirit of the grapes to create wines with strong character and defined structure. Fruity, but very dry, there are notes of blueberry, plum, and violet, with licorice on the finish - a great pairing for harder cheeses like grana padano, stuffed pastas like cannelloni with spinach and ricotta, or raspberries and dark chocolate.
