Here’s what Leslie Sbrocco, one of the nation’s most beloved celebrity sommeliers, had to say about Lini Lambrusco on her public media show “Check, Please! Bay Area”:

Lini 910 Lambrusco is simply one of the best deals on the wine market today. It’s a versatile sparkling to discover and buy by the case for year-round sipping. The Lini family has been producing artisanal Lambrusco in the Italian region of Emilia since 1910. Currently run by the fourth generation of the family, it’s a female-led producer to know. The wine carries the name “Labrusca,” which refers to the ancient Roman name for indigenous grapes used to make the sunny sparkling red (Rosso) known today as Lambrusco. This ruby-hued, gently fizzy bottling overflows with red berry freshness followed by a crisp, dry finish. It’s an ideal pairing for everything from aged cheeses to spicy Thai curries and smoky barbecue.
