Lambrusco 172 by 90+ Cellars brings a spirited expression of sparkling red wine with its roots in the Emilia-Romagna tradition, all interpreted through the lens of California's diverse vineyards. This effervescent wine captures the lively essence typical of Lambrusco with its energetic bubbles and playful character. It offers a refreshing bouquet of ripe berries, complemented by a subtle underlying earthiness that adds depth to its profile. The wine is light-bodied, with a moderate level of acidity that gives it a crisp, clean finish, making it an engaging choice for a variety of palates. The wine’s vibrant fruit notes and fresh finish make it a versatile partner for food pairing. It plays particularly well with an assortment of cheeses—especially soft, creamy varieties—and charcuterie, where its bubbles can cut through the richness. It also pairs beautifully with pizza and pasta dishes featuring tomato-based sauces, as well as grilled vegetables and lighter meats. This makes Lambrusco 172 an ideal companion for informal meals and picnics, providing a burst of refreshment alongside savory bites. For optimal enjoyment, serve Lambrusco 172 well-chilled, around 45°F to 50°F, which helps to accentuate its crispness and bright fruit flavors. Pour it into a tulip-shaped glass to capture its bouquet and allow the lively bubbles to dance across your palate. This sparkling wine does not require decanting; it is crafted to be enjoyed young, inviting you to savor its exuberance in the moment. Whether you're sharing a casual dinner or celebrating a special occasion, Lambrusco 172 is poised to bring a touch of vibrant, Italian-inspired charm to the table.
