Tasting Notes

This is how Italian Sparkling Red, or better yet, Lambrusco should be. Fresh, dry, nice crisp sparkles dancing on your taste buds. Notes of Strawberry, cherry, rose petals, fig, earth, and wet stone. Really tasty! Just give this wine a nice chill, and you will be delighted. We highly recommend this wine as it will surely be the talk of the table.
