I am immensely proud of my Italian heritage and no more so of the wines that come from our region of Emilia. I get many a broad grin when I tell people that Lambrusco is a fabulous wine and something to be enjoyed, for many it simply confirms my eccentricity and slight insanity.
That said finally the rest of the world has caught up with me and is beginning to appreciate that Lambrusco isn’t just some over fizzzed £2.99 bottle that you pick up on the bottom shelf of some multinational supermarket.
Indeed for the first time a Lambrusco, Concerto from Medici Ermete has been rewarded with the extremely prestigious “Tre Bicchieri” (Three Glasses) award by the Vini d’Italia guidebook produced by Gambero Rosso.
The red Lambrusco grape is capable of producing a delicious wine. This is REAL Lambrusco, dry, red and with a sparkle; it is a full, juicy mouth filling wine that is a brilliant accompaniment to rich cuisine.
For those of you who want to try this wonderful wine please do, go on you know you want to!
