Lini 910 Labrusca Lambrusco Rosso 750ml

Lini 910 was founded in 1910 and is still run by the family, now in its fourth generation, with Fabio Lini as winemaker. Winebow imports it to the US.

Labrusca Rosso is 85% Salamino and 15% Ancellotta, and the label reads Lambrusco Emilia Rosso. The grapes spend 10 to 15 days on their skins and go through partial malolactic fermentation. The second fermentation happens in pressurized tanks, the Martinotti or Charmat method, with time on the lees. Residual sugar is 12 grams per liter, and the style is secco, or dry.

Look for blackberry compote, roasted plum, herbs and smoke, along with spices, crushed blackberry, lavender, black cherry and a licorice finish.

Against Cavicchioli Lambrusco Dolce, Lini is drier and more savory; with salumi and pizza, choose Lini.

Serve it chilled. Pour it with prosciutto, mortadella, Parmigiano or lasagne.
