100% Lambrusco di Sorbara

It’s not often that we find a Lambrusco that strikes a perfect chord between plush ripeness and structured dryness, but this is it—the Alberici estate’s most savory, old-school Lambrusco. With incredible weight and depth, it shows an unapologetic character of earth, ripe purple fruit, crushed red berries, tomato leaf, and red flowers, capped by an immensely dry and lingering finish. Behind the bottle are brothers Fabio Alberici and Fausto Alberici, fourth-generation growers who champion traditional, bone-dry Lambrusco made for the table, not the crowd. They farm old vines and bottle with minimal intervention, letting depth and texture lead the way rather than sweetness. The result is a Lambrusco that feels honest, grounded, and deeply satisfying.
