Here’s what Santé contributor and veteran wine writer Roger Morris had to say about Lini Rosato, one of the wines he recommends this week:
“Dark red sparkler — fruit-forward tangy cherry and elderberry flavors, but with good acidity.”

We couldn’t be more thrilled to share the news: We just learned that Daniele Cernilli, aka Doctor Wine, has named the 2007 Lini Classic Method Lambrusco the “best single grape wine (Lambrusco)” in the 2020 Guida Essenziale ai Vini d’Italia 2020 (Essential Guide to Italian Wine, 2020 edition).
The score: 95/100!
Veteran wine writer and publisher Daniele Cernilli is widely considered one of Italy’s leading wine critics. His Guida Essenziale has become a benchmark for wine criticism in Italy today. We’ll publish his editors’ tasting notes as soon as they become available.
Thank you, Doctor Wine!
We’ll be joining you September 29 in Milan for the presentation of the new guide and the “best in category” winners!
“Seafood and shellfish both love this wine,” write the editors of Chilled, a leading mixology magazine.
But that’s not all.
Lini Lambrusco Bianco is one of their favorite pairings for Indian food.
On the occasion of National Wine and Cheese Day, here’s what radio personality and lifestyle guru JD “the Diva” Janine Davis (above) of WBAV (Charlotte) had to say about Lini Lambrusco:
“I usually like dark, red wines that are full-bodied with a bit of a bite, but lately because of all the hot weather, I’ve been sipping on Lambruscos. Lambrusco is sparkling red wine that could be dry, semi dry or sweet. You can get them just about anywhere… One of my favorite Lambrusco wines is Lini 910 Labrusca Lambrusco Rosso. I’ve had it with everything from pizza to steak.”

Thank you, JD!

Dave McIntyre is one of the top wine writers working in the U.S. today. And his wine column for the Washington Post is one of the country’s most respected resources for wine criticism. Last week, he awarded the Lini Lambrusco Labrusca Rosé three out of three stars — his top rating!
Lini 910 Labrusca Rosé NV
Three out of Three Stars
Lambrusco, a light-bodied, sparkling red, is Italy’s surprise partner to pizza, barbecue and charcuterie. This is the first rosé Lambrusco I’ve tried, and it’s a delight. Flavors of watermelon, strawberry and wild herbs make for a refreshing patio pounder, and if you’re not careful, you may finish it before the food is ready. And there are bubbles! This wine is new to the market, but it should get wider availability, especially if customers aren’t skeptical about trying a pink Lambrusco.

Thank you Joseph Hernandez, Thrillist senior travel editor, for this amazing recommendation!
Here’s what he had to say about Lini Lambrusco Labrusca Rosso, one of his top picks for Lambrusco in the U.S. today:
“Tiny bubbles and a bitter edge, like orange pith, make this a nice aperitif, to drink with stinky cheeses and charcuterie. Soft-textured, it tastes of black cherry, cola, and really ripe blackberries.”
Thank you, Joseph!
Andrea Scanzi is one of Italy’s leading political essayists, wine writers, television personalities, and gourmets (see the Wikipedia entry on Andrea here).
Here’s what he had to say about Lini’s Lambrusco Metodo Classico nearly 10 years ago. The rest is history…
The family’s Metodo Classic Lambrusco, he wrote, “is made using [Lambrusco] Salamino grapes. I find it to be one of the most elegant and winning wagers by a Reggio Emilia winery ever undertaken. It’s even more fascinating than some of their classic method wines” made from conventional grapes.
