Fini Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC NV 80 Points
An off dry leaning towards semi sweet lightly sparkling red wine made from Grasparossa grapes.
Ruby red with garnet hue and brown rim, clean, stewed red fruits, plums and strawberry jam, light sparkle.
Semi sweet with low acidity, no tannins, light bodied with low alcohol (surprisingly the label says 8+3 % abv!!) the perfect tipple served well chilled paired with Parmegianno Reggiano and Parma ham, served with grilled crostini, the sweetness offset the salty character very well. Drink on purchase, not for cellaring! Available at specialists wine stores!
