This is a sparkling red wine made with Lambrusco grapes in Emilia-Romagna, but the winemaker bristles at the term Lambrusco. His biodynamic, single vineyard wine here, is clearly not typical for the category. Refreshing red fruit with a lively, bramblines

Salamino is perhaps the most important grape in Lambrusco, a region not known for expressive terroir…but, as the name might suggest, Terrevive is here to change that. For fans of Pét-Nat; a lively, mineral-laden wine with touches of under ripe strawberry

Maurizio Donadi took over his family vineyards recently, in order to revive the old school tradition of Col Fondo style prosecco. Now he’s added sparkling red to the lineup; think of it as a riff on Lambrusco. Lush red fruits, gentle fizz, and structured

Like all great Lambrusco, this stuff is dangerous! Lively in the glass, with dark raspberry fruits and a touch of clean earthiness underneath. Take this bottle over to Frankie and Vali’s to pair with a delicious slice or three.

Cirelli is a 23 hectare organic farm in Abruzzo that cultivates olives, vegetables, and grapes, among other things. The whole place is it’s own ecosystem, and the wines reflect this beautiful rusticity. This frizzante sparkler is funky yet fresh. Apricot

The grapes are co-planted and co-fermented; essentially an old school field blend. The bubbles are pleasantly frizzante. Fresh, vibrant, and juicy, but with roundness and depth thanks to malo and at least a year on the lees. “Arcese” is a cheaky portmante

Clean and refreshing, with the classic precision of a good Italian sparkler. Col Fondo generally refers to the ancestral method (Pét-Nat) for making Prosecco, but in this case, the estate is using the style to craft a “sparkling Gavi”, if you will. Great

Slightly cloudy, slightly sparkling, completely delicious. A lot of subtle flavors and textures with this wine: chalky-wet stone mineral, light-zesty citrus, beautiful jasmine and sage, a soft creaminess & gentle cider note. It is continually evolving and

This Pét-Nat is citrusy, floral, and a touch salty thanks to the vineyard’s proximity to the Sardinian coast. Quartomoro began life as a garage winery and has slowly expanded while remaining a small 10-hectare operation. Minimal intervention in the vineya

Ezio is a deeply principled man. Not only are his vineyards and winery organic, they are carbon neutral. He grew up surrounded by Moscato vines & believes in their potential for making wonderful wines. The sparkling Moscato is dry but retains the ethereal

Old vines give this wine concentration and depth. The famously brutal conditions in this area of Sicily translate into grapes that have fought for their lives…which means more concentration of phenols…which means more flavor.
