Medici Ermete, Concerto, Lambrusco Reggiano, Emilia-Romagna, Italy 2022

Very inky, almost purple-ish – as is typical of Lambrusco Salamino grown in the Reggiano area – the aromas recall dark cherries, violets and carob, with a subtle herbal smack. Quite structured but also light on its feet, this has a savoury, foamy and slightly tannic attack, followed by smoother flavours of candied cherry and cocoa, a kick of pepper enlivening the moreish finish. Organic.
