Lambrusco 2024 Country|Portugal

Lambrusco 2024 Country|PortugalOur best priced sparkling red! Donati does it again crowned with an inviting purple froth in the glass this is what proper Lambrusco should taste like. Dry, for a start forget the sickly style that has given this often stunning regional wine a bad name and bursting with bloody, mineral forest fruits. A glass of this with a plate of salumi is one of the finest aperitivo out there.

but as always the wine is angular and mineral too

this very much takes the fleshy

higher tones of red fruits with savoury mushroom in a way that hints at something Burgundian

One to try chilled

After a 5-day maceration in stainless steel tanks

it's a fine balance between detailed layers of structure and seductive drinkability

Tart white peach and zesty citrus pith fruits hover in the airy palate of this delicate

100% Chardonnay from the tiny growing region of Bugey

Very easy to get on with

and begins vinification the same way: enthusiastically foot-stomped

Made with 100% Riesling grown on sandstone soils

balanced out with a zippy acidity and lots of pretty little bubbles
