This is what I would bring to a BBQ as a starter crow pleaser bubbles! A chilled sparkling red wine, yet bone dry. So much sweet fruit and savoy herbal notes~~~
Country: Italy
Region: Emilia-Romagna
Farming practice: certified organic
Grape: Lambrusco Grasparossa
Produced from organically farmed hillside vineyards just outside of Modena, Moretto’s Grasparossa is made for the notoriously rich cuisine of Emilia-Romagna, arguably the home of Italy’s finest meats and cheeses. The bone-dry finish features bracing acidity and chalky tannins, designed to cut through the fat of a mortadella sandwich or chunks of aged Parmigiano. You can’t go wrong pairing this sparkling rosso with virtually any dish from Emilian cuisine or a simple margherita pizza, but it also marries wonderfully with barbecue slathered in smoky sauce and carnitas seasoned with a bit of spice.
