Venturini Baldini Montelocco Lambrusco Emilia 750ml

The NV Lambrusco Montelocco is a varietal Salamino with a deep, dark purple color. Blackberries, cherries, sage and stone dust create its alluring bouquet. It’s silky in feel and noticeably sweet, yet nicely balanced by juicy acidity, as red and blue fruits soothe the senses. This leaves nuances of hard red candies, violets and cloves through the long and pleasurable finale. The Montelocco is a great example of how much fun and balanced and fruity Lambrusco can be.
