As spring blends into summer, with July 4 right around the corner, a lot of you will be breaking out the grill to cook your favorite cut of steak.

When it comes to summer grills, often served al fresco, one of our favorite pairings for grilled beef is Lambrusco.

A lot of people don’t realize that Lambrusco is actually a tannic grape: The tannin, combined with the freshness and bright fruit of the wine, makes it the perfect summer grill wine. Especially as the weather gets warmer and you crave refreshing wines to accompany your food, Lambrusco strikes the perfect balance between structure, food-friendliness, and versatility.

So the next time you fire up the grill for your favorite cut, take a bottle of Lini out for a spin! We know you’re going to love it…
