The first vintage of this dry, slightly sparkling red wine was in 1910! 85% Salamino, 15% Ancellotta. For the production of Lini’s classic Martinotti-method Lambrusco (also known as Charmat-method Lambrusco), a still Lambrusco is produced and then racked to pressurized, temperature-controlled tanks where the second fermentation is provoked. The wines are then aged on their lees until the desired complexity and nuance are achieved.
Tasting Notes
This super fun, dry Lambrusco shows bright red fruit and berry flavors balanced by juicy minerality. The clean but lingering finish makes it an ideal pairing for a wide variety of cuisines. Lambrusco is the quintessential pairing for Emilian gastronomy (think mortadella, prosciutto, parmigiano reggiano). But its remarkable versatility also makes it a wonderful match for a wide variety of cuisines, including Asian, Mexican, and classic American. Many top sommeliers reach for Lini wines to pair with oysters. And many claim it’s the ultimate BBQ wine. Serve chilled!
