Barbolini, Lancillotto Lambrusco D.O.C.
(lahn-chee-LOH-toh lahm-BROO-skoh)

 

Tasting Notes: Since 1889, the Barbolini family has made wine on their tiny estate. In that time, they have perfected their Lambrusco. Their Lancillotto is not a sweet wine, but delightfully briny and a bit dry, with a lush, generous body. The ripe-fruit sweetness and raspberry aromas are lifted into the nose by the delicate bubbles. It is absolutely beautiful in the glass and enticing aromas emanate from the glass to draw one in.
