Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro Frizzante Secco

I’m afraid we didn’t pick the wine that was easiest to pronounce for the American market. We picked the wine from the single best growing area for the Lambrusco grape in all of Italy: Castelvetro, home to the Grasparossa clone of the Lambrusco grape. This is where the darkest, fullest-bodied, earthiest, most complex, most red-wine-like Lambruscos are produced. Once you taste one, it is pretty difficult to drink any of the light, wispy versions without being disappointed. Moretto’s Lambrusco is a deep, characterful, refreshing wine that can be enjoyed from antipasti all the way through the main course, cheeses, and beyond. Dry red Italian sparkling wine with dinner? You’ll love it. –Anthony Lynch
