Revisiting Lambrusco

Lambrusco is DOC in Emilia-Romagna, Italy.
It is also a name of grape variety with numerous clones.
The wine is red sparkling wine with red fruit aromas.

Lambrusco is not my favorite wine: it's too light and perfumy, and many of Lambrusco I had were cheap sweet wines.
However, I heard that there had been more serious (?) Lambrusco which was dry with firm structure, so I decided to give it a try.

Fattoria Moretto Lambrusco di Grasparossa di Castelvetro

Lambrusco di Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC is considered to be a highest quality Lambrusco DOC.
It's supposed to have full body and high tannin and acidity.

This wine has deep purple color, high acid and light tannin.
Aromas and flavors of apple skin, cherry, plum, pomegranate.
Bubbles are not long-lasting but quite delicate.

The aromas and flavors are simple but pleasant from the first sip to after taste.
It's easy to drink and also good with food, especially with fatty food.

I wouldn't say that all Lambrusco suddenly became my favorite, but I enjoyed this particular wine a lot.
