Cavicchioli Lambrusco Dolce — Emilia-Romagna, Italy
Cavicchioli is the benchmark producer of Lambrusco — a family winery based in Sorbara, Emilia-Romagna, with over a century of experience crafting Italy’s most beloved sparkling red. The Lambrusco Dolce is their sweet expression: lightly sparkling, brilliantly ruby red, and irresistibly easy to drink. This is the wine of the Emilian table — the one that flows at Sunday lunches alongside prosciutto, mortadella, and tortellini in brodo. Serve it well-chilled and enjoy it without overthinking. Life is too short for serious wine at every meal.
The froth is evanescent with a violet hue and continuous, fine perlage. The color is a brilliant ruby red. The nose is fruity and floral — fresh red berries, a whisper of violets, and a gentle sweetness that is inviting rather than cloying. On the palate, it is sweet and harmonious, lightly sparkling, and refreshingly easy — the bubbles and gentle sweetness make it a natural match for spicy dishes, grilled meats, and summer entertaining. Think of it as Italy’s answer to a cold beer on a hot day.

Lambrusco, a bubbly, slightly sweet red wine is served well-chilled, and so is a godsend in the summer, when simpler fare, especially grilled or cured meats, call for a similarly light-hearted wine. Lambrusco makes an exceptional, if unexpected, match with fiery hot-and-spicy dishes because its bubbly nature and slight sweetness make it work more like beer than wine to quench the flames.
Vinification: The grapes, harvested between September and October are removed from the stalks and are traditionally vinified on their skins at a controlled temperature. The second fermentation takes place using the Charmat method in pressure tanks with the base wine and fresh must and with the aid of selected yeasts.
Wine Spectator A bright and tangy Lambrusco, balanced and easy-drinking, with wild berry and cherry fruit, accented by notes of underbrush and smoke. Spiced finish.Wine Enthusiast Aromas of crushed blue flower, spicy blueberry, juicy blackberry and baking spice characterize this savory, inky colored sparkler. The vivacious, off-dry palate is balanced by fresh acidity that leaves a clean finish. It's thoroughly enjoyable.
