Just had to share this photo from a few years ago when the Lini family hosted some American friends at the winery with a classic Emilia-style pre-lunch Saturday aperitivo.

When we think of Lambrusco pairings, it’s only natural to go straight to prosciutto, salumi, and the classic ragù that are served in Emilia.

But one of the best pairings, however surprising to some, is pinzimonio, crudités served with a drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar.

It’s such a classic of Emilian hospitality and it’s wonderful on a warm summer day.

WE MISS ITALY! WE MISS EMILIA!
