Paltrinieri - Lambrusco di Sorbara Radice 2021 (750ml)

Wine Enthusiast 96 points
"When you get a wine like this, there is no turning back. A wine that is both pure, delicious and intriguing all at once is a rarity and is to be celebrated. At first, it is reserved. But once it wakes up, the wine shows a fresh mix of strawberry, boysenberry and pomegranate that gives way to intense floral notes, wild herbs and game. It's energetic and vital with acidity that's so crisp you will not realize you have just downed the bottle. Editors' Choice"

"The 2021 Lambrusco di Sorbara Radici is a vibrant pink color and keeps the energy high throughout; sweet smoke gives way to wild strawberries, rose petals and the slightest hint of tangerine. This is savory and loaded with mineral and acid tension with tart orchard fruits that cascade across the palate with salty prominence. The Radici leaves a flavor best described as liquid stone through the finale, along with a sour lime and herbal twang. Don’t come here looking for your average Lambrusco. The Radici is bottle-fermented with indigenous yeast. (Lot# 3122 2021)"
