95 Point Lambrusco - Under $23!

IMPORTANT UPDATE!

Due to a Wine House staff member testing positive for COVID-19, we are closing the store temporarily. However, our website is not sick, and emails can still send. These are tough times, and we are a family owned and run retail store that relies on the patronage of our customers, whose support has been unbelievable over the past 10 months. So, to keep the lights on and staff employed, we will continue to send out our unique wine emails over the coming week. We are grateful for your understanding and continued support.

LAMBRUSCO – THE ULTIMATE PIZZA WINE!

“I’ve said before that Gianfranco Paltrinieri’s Lambruscos are among the finest I have had the pleasure to drink. The delicious 95 point 2019 Paltrinieri Leclisse Lambrusco di Sorbara Secco, is another masterpiece from this acclaimed producer. This Lambrusco di Sobara is truly special. Last year, when we promoted the 2018 Paltrinieri Radice, another fantastic bottle, we sold out within the day. The 2019 Paltrinieri Leclisse, a wonderful step up from the Radice, is another mind-bending bottle of bubbles.

Lambrusco comes in multiple styles, colors and weights, so please stay open minded... and forget some of the inferior wines of the past. This lightly fizzy, dry wine is light in color (a beautiful salmon color), is the ultimate food wine and perfectly complements endless meals at home, and has even been known to work brilliantly with pizza. The color of this wine is so enticing, but it is the notes of rose petals, wild red berries and citrus that will have you coming back for more! Unfortunately, we only have 20 cases available and at only $22.99, we expect this wine to sell out quickly!

Osteria Francescana, a three-Michelin-star restaurant in Modena that is consistently ranked as one of the greatest restaurants on the planet, pours multiple Lambruscos because it is part of the culture and because they pair so wonderfully with the cuisine of the region. Try a bottle and see for yourself!” – Lance Montalto, The Wine House

While the store is closed, we will process some orders; however, we will not be staffed to ship or to handle curbside pickup. Orders will be available for curbside pickup when we reopen the store, which we expect to be Saturday, January 30. That said, please check our website before coming to the store! Thank you, stay healthy and, as always, drink well!

CHAT! If you see a chat bubble in the lower right corner on our website, a Wine House employee who is working remotely is ready to answer your questions. Please note that chat is only available between 11AM and 6PM, and the bubble only displays when an employee is available.

95 Points: “Absolutely delicious, this elegant, fragrant wine offers enticing aromas of violet, red berry, citrus and baking spice. The bone-dry, foaming palate delivers strawberry, raspberry and red cherry, accented with cinnamon and ginger notes. Crisp acidity gives it a pristine, quenching finish that leaves you wanting more.” – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast (December 2020)

Paltrinieri
“An historic estate that dates back to 1926, Paltrinieri is in my opinion the best producer of Lambrusco di Sorbara today. The family-run property produces a mindboggling range of wines made from this grape, the one that gives the most refined of all Lambrusco-something wines. Paltrinieri farms 15 hectares (and two more they are about to plant.) The labels are especially beautiful, replicating art work by a local artist and family friend, Fabrizio Loschi. The Paltrinieri estate is worth a visit for the welcoming atmosphere, the pretty countryside and the great wines: depending on the time of year you visit, you will be delighted by the sight of a few nesting swallows in the winery building who the Paltrineiri’s tell me have made it their home for years now (the presence of swallows tells you that the habitat is clean since they tend to disappear from polluted areas).” – Ian D’Agata

What Is Pét-Nat Wine? ... Pétillant-naturel (natural sparkling) is a catch-all term for practically any sparkling wine made in the méthode ancestrale, meaning the wine is bottled before primary fermentation is finished, without the addition of secondary yeasts or sugars.
