Lambrusco Mantovano DOC
Come si dice? Tap the speaker next to a name to hear it in Italian. AI voice.
No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.
Lombardy's only Lambrusco, from the Mantuan plain that borders Emilia, made mostly from the local Lambrusco Viadanese with Maestri and Marani. It's the darker, fuller end of the Lambrusco spectrum: purple-red with a violet foam, blackberry, plum, violet and a savory, slightly tannic grip, usually dry or just off-dry. Drink it cold with tortelli di zucca and salami. Lebovitz and Cantina di Quistello are the names that travel.
