Eh. It is what it is. Slightly sweet and slightly sparkling. When I’ve liked Lambruscos they’ve had a nice nose. This was just okay. Not offensive but not hitting many pleasure points. It paired the best of any wine of the night with the excellent ribs served at the tasting. But in my mind I was rolling through a dozen roses that would work just as well that taste better. A Louis/Dressner import.

Fresh berry/vanilla aroma. Pleasant flavors of blackberries and chalk. Cel-ray finish. Unusually subtle for lambrusco, with fairly complex flavors and some depth. Very slight sweetness, could use more backbone or something. Better Lambruscos are normally very food friendly, this less so.
All in all very good at $19, I'd like it even more if it were a few bucks cheaper.
