Lambrusco, Emilia Romagna, Italy

Joyous, like the first few baby smiles and mumbles, reminding us of a line from spoken-word artist Anis Mojgani, “…for the two-year-olds who cannot be understood because they speak half English and half god…”. Winemaker Denny is one of the humble heroes of the growing community of artisanal producers, returning to better farming techniques & the metodo ancestrale (also know as pet-net) of their great-grandfathers. These Lambrusco grapes are organically grown on marl and sand soils, and add a distinct mineral lightness to this fresh and youthful wine. Strawberry kool-aid, cotton candy bubble gum, hibiscus tea & plums rubbed in dirt during snack time and yes, this wine was named after a real 2-year-old girl named Willow, her art on the label (CUTE). Drink on a swing set, a seesaw, a slide or any other park apparatus you deem worthy.
