Lambrusco di Sorbara & Salamino, Emilia-Romagna, Italy

Venture with us to Emilia-Romagna, the birthplace of everyone’s favourite sparkling wine that they’ll inevitably become obsessed with, Lambrusco. Except this is its lean, mean & effortlessly chic cousin, the lighter-skinned Lambrusco di Sorbara — say Ciao to Sant'Agata! Polar opposite to the dark red, pizza-loving Lambrusco you may be acquainted with, this wine isn’t about the fruit at all. It drinks like the living embodiment of its sexy, modernist label and if it were a person, that person would have some incredibly powerful eyebrows. Yet as tense, balsamic & mineral-driven this wine is, it’s still a sparkling rosé, baby! The very picture of elegance, back from a thrilling trip to Greece (cough cough) and ready to show casual nip at your next holiday staff party. Puckered red fruit, watermelon rind, cranberry cocktail & cherry blasters without the sour.
