This is a tasty gem of a sparkling wine - watermelon, wild strawberries, mixed with an Ocean Spray cranberry cocktail? Hook it to my veins, why don’t you? Stemming from the same region in Italy that brings you Parmesan Reggiano, balsamic vinegar, Luciano Pavarotti, and Ferrari, Lambrusco is one of the food friendliest wines of all time. In this case, spending 6-8 months in a long primary fermentation in bottle, then aged 12 months without disgorgement before release. Enjoy this wine with all the Prosciutto in the world. Practicing organic.

The Story: Cantina Puianello was established in 1938 by five wine families who joined forces to create the classic wines of Emilia-Romagna. The high quality vineyards in the foothills of the Apennines -Lambrusco Monterrico takes it’s name from Monterrico, a slice of the Albinea municipality which enjoys a unique microclimate sheltered from the humid climate and frequent fogs, typical of the Emilian plain. These hills still offer well ventilated and decent temperature range. Grown on calcareous and generally clayey soils, the vineyards mainly follow the espalier training system, with vegetative containment threads, combining the Guyot pruning system.

Personality: Even for those year-round red wine drinkers, this slightly fizzy rosé that is bone DRY and hints of tart watermelon and wild strawberries and a slight herb note and finishes beautifully crisp and clean.

Harmony: Can’t go wrong with anything covered in Parmesan and layered with prosciutto.
