1. Cavicchioli Lambrusco Rosé Extra Dry – €6.29
The Cavicchioli Lambrusco Rosé Extra Dry is the ultimate luxury in the Lambrusco category, combining elegance with great value. This sparkling rosé Lambrusco comes from the renowned Cavicchioli family winery in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It pours a bright pink hue with fine, persistent bubbles and a fragrant bouquet of fresh red berries and rose petals. As an Extra Dry style, it is drier than the classic sweet Lambrusco, offering a crisp palate with subtle sweetness and an ABV of around 11%. You’ll taste notes of strawberry, raspberry, and a hint of spice, balanced by refreshing acidity. This premium Lambrusco is perfect as an apéritif or paired with appetizers like prosciutto and cheese. Enjoy it well-chilled to appreciate its lively fizz and delicate flavors.
2. Cavicchioli Lambrusco Red – €4.59
The Cavicchioli Lambrusco Red is a gently sparkling red wine that epitomizes what Lambrusco is all about. Produced by Cavicchioli – a winery bottling Lambrusco since 1928 in Modena – this wine delivers an authentic taste of Italian tradition. It has a deep ruby-red color with a light frothy mousse. On the nose, it bursts with fruity aromas of ripe black cherry and sweet red berries. This Lambrusco red is typically semi-sweet (amabile), with a low alcohol content (~8% ABV) that makes it very easy to drink. Every sip is smooth and juicy, featuring flavors of red plum, grape jam, and a touch of violet. The sweetness is balanced by mild tannins and a refreshing sparkle. It’s a fantastic choice for those who love a sweet Italian red wine. Serve it chilled alongside spicy foods or classic Italian dishes – its slight sweetness and fizz make it an excellent pairing for pepperoni pizza, hearty pasta, or cured meats.
3. Cavicchioli Lambrusco White – €4.59
Yes, Lambrusco comes in white! The Cavicchioli Lambrusco White is a unique sparkling wine made from Lambrusco grapes vinified without skin contact to create a pale golden color. It presents a straw-yellow hue and lively bubbles. The aroma is delightfully fruity and floral – think of white peaches, golden apples, and a hint of orange blossom. As a semi-sweet sparkling white wine, it has about 8% ABV and offers a soft sweetness on the palate. You’ll notice flavors of crisp apple, pear, and honeydew melon, with gentle floral undertones. The light sweetness and moderate acidity make this Lambrusco Bianco refreshing and versatile. It’s easy to drink on its own as a party wine, and it shines when served well-chilled on a warm day. For food pairings, try it with fruit tarts, mild cheeses, or even spicy Asian cuisine – its sweetness helps cool down the heat. This Lambrusco white demonstrates the surprising range of the Lambrusco family.
4. Cavicchioli Lambrusco Rosé (Amabile) – €4.59
The Cavicchioli Lambrusco Rosé (regular amabile style) offers the best of both worlds for Lambrusco lovers who enjoy a rosé twist. It showcases a beautiful light rosé color with a glimmer of fine bubbles. Made in an amabile (moderately sweet) style, this sparkling rosé has the same easygoing 8% ABV as its red and white counterparts. On the nose, it charms with fresh strawberry, raspberry, and delicate floral notes. Take a sip and you’ll experience sweet red berry flavors – think wild strawberries and cherries – balanced by a crisp effervescence. The mouthfeel is smooth and playful, with the wine’s natural sweetness making it very approachable. This Lambrusco rosé is a fantastic choice for celebrations or dessert; its sweetness and fizz complement cakes, pastries, or creamy desserts like panna cotta. It also pairs surprisingly well with spicy barbecue or Thai dishes, as the sweetness tempers the spice. Serve it chilled and enjoy a bit of Italian sparkle in pink!
5. Sorbello Lambrusco Frizzante Rosso Amabile – €3.90
Rounding out our list is the Sorbello Lambrusco Frizzante Rosso Amabile, a budget-friendly gem that still earns its spot among the most expensive Lambruscos in our collection. Sorbello’s Lambrusco is a frizzante (lightly sparkling) red wine crafted in an amabile sweet style. It pours a vibrant ruby-red with a frothy light foam. The aroma is invitingly sweet and grapey, with notes of juicy red fruits like cherry and redcurrant. At about 8% ABV, it’s soft and sweet on the palate, bursting with flavors of ripe berries, candy apple, and a touch of floral sweetness. The light fizz keeps it refreshing, preventing the sweetness from becoming heavy. This Lambrusco is pure fun in a bottle – easy to drink and perfect for casual gatherings. Pair the Sorbello Rosso with salty snacks, Italian salumi, or even a spicy pepperoni pizza. The sweetness and acidity cut through savory, spicy flavors, making each bite and sip more enjoyable. For dessert lovers, you can also serve this Lambrusco with chocolate-covered strawberries or cheesecake.
