Winemaker Notes
Intense ruby red, very bright. Intense notes of fresh red fruit, strawberries, raspberries, and cherries; great clean smell with intensity and persistence. Dry but fruity at the same time, round, fresh, lively and pleasantly harmonious; very clean wine with a great balance between acidity and tannins.
Pairs well with meats, such as feline salami, mortadella, salted pork, ham; tortellini and cappelletti in broth, lasagna, tagliatelle with meat sauce, pumpkin ravioli.

Dried blueberries, cassis, citrus and spices. This has good focus on the palate with a fine line of bubbles, direct acidity and a bright finish.

COMMENTARY: Who drinks Lambrusco? The answer is more people than the knowledgeable wine community would admit. The 2017 Medici Ermete Concerto Lambrusco Reggiano is an excellent reason to give this category a chance. TASTING NOTES: This wine is delicious, evocative, and zesty. Its deep aromas and flavors of black fruit and bright and lasting. Enjoy it with flavorful appetizers. (Tasted: March 5, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

Wine Spectator
A bright and tangy Lambrusco, with aromatic hints of herb, graphite and balsamic accenting the brambly crushed black currant, raspberry, orange peel and fig flavors. Well-balanced and lively. Drink now through 2020.
Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.
Extending from the Adriatic coast in the east, to the border of the Mediterranean Ligurian region in the west, Emilia Romagna is a large, central Italian region focused on a wide array of gastronomic specialties. The plains of Emilia host four well-defined subzones for its famous, lightly sparkling red, Lambrusco. The more coastal Romagna has the capacity to produce impressive wines from Sangiovese and Albana.
