Vinous points for Paltrinieri’s Lambrusco
3 Lambrusco’s from Cantina Paltrinieri received a high Vinous rating:
Tastingnote:
“Fresh strawberry, sweet herbs, roses and smoke create an inviting display as the 2019 Lambrusco di Sorbara Lariserva opens up in the glass. This displays silky textures and a stimulating bead of fine bubbles, accentuated by brilliant acidity and tart orchard fruits. It’s savory, almost salty and buzzing with residual tension through the long, mouthwatering finale.” – Eric Guido

Tastingnote:
“The 2020 Lambrusco di Sorbara Radice presents a savory display of dusty rose, ginger and sour melon. It’s silky-smooth and textural, as a tug-of-war between sweet and sour plays upon the senses. Minerals, tart apples, wild herbs and spices resonate throughout, as this finishes long yet with cheek-puckering freshness. The decidedly dry Radice is made from the Sorbara grape, which is re-fermented to dryness in bottle, creating a ‘frizzante’ style.” -Eric Guido

Tastingnote:
“The 2020 Lambrusco di Sorbara Leclisse is lifted and floral with nuances of strawberry, savory spice and incense. Its silken bubbles are quickly firmed up by a mix of salty minerals and acids, as citrus-tinged orchard fruits add further tension through the mediu-length finale. The Leclisse is produced by the charmat method, and it spends three months resting on the lees prior to bottling.” – Eric Guido
