Cleto Chiarli, Nivola, Lambrusco, Grasparossa di Castelvetro, Emilia-Romagna, Italy NV

It's a style that hasn't yet reached the mainstream, but it's worth taking the risk and being adventurous if Lambrusco is new to you. This is a sparkling red wine from Italy's Emilia-Romagna region. It's modest in alcohol, with a little residual sugar, deeply coloured and fully fruited. Pour a little of this into your glass and you'll be taken aback by the deep violet colour. The fragrance is equally bold: sweet, fleshy, dark cherry fruit, plums and mulberries with a lick of sherbet. But take a sip and you'll see that it's not in the least bit sickly. The same dark, perfumed fruits carry through to the palate, but accompanied by a grippy texture and a lively seam of acidity. It's the perfect style to serve slightly chilled on a summer's evening with a plate of charcuterie, hard aged cheeses like Parmesan – or with a pizza. Mix-six price: £11.99.
