Lini 910 "Labrusca Rosé" Lambrusco dell' Emilia, Emilia-Romagna, Italy NV

FROM WINEBOW: THE WINE: Labrusca is the ancient Roman name for the family of Lambrusco grape varieties, believed by many to be among the earliest grapes used to produce wine. Rosso means red. Founded in 1910, Lini 910 is a fourth-generation, family-owned and operated winery, producer of Emilia's leading wines including the first-ever Lambrusco included in Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of Italy. Thanks to his longstanding relationships with growers and deft hand, winemaker Fabio Lini has set the benchmark for artisanal Lambrusco. For the production of Lini's classic Martinotti-method Lambrusco (also known as Charmatmethod Lambrusco), a still Lambrusco is produced and then racked to pressurized, temperature-controlled tanks where the second fermentation is provoked. The wines are then aged on their lees until the desired complexity and nuance are achieved.
