Lambrusco is a softly sparkling red wine from Italy that is coming back into fashion after years in the wilderness. It's not big and it's not clever - instead it trades on sweet, fresh, fruity flavours and a soft texture. Here we have juicy blackberry, plum and cherry with a tangy red fruit streak. The balance of acidity and sweetness works really well, and this is a surprisingly good fit with cured meats.
