An everyday drinking sparkling red Lambrusco from Emilia that has become affectionally and unofficially known as the ‘Festa’ or ‘Party’ label, owing to the big ol’ table of various types of people enjoying a raucous meal, and to the fact that it’s delicious, a touch bitter, and goes down easy if you don’t overthink it (kinda like most family gatherings.)

 

TASTING NOTES: Ruby color throughout. Nose of a typical Lambrusco. Baked strawberry. Cotton candy. Cherry. Nose hits you like a lemon drop martini.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS: Mature cheeses, cured meats, charcuterie, tapas.
