9. Riunite Lambrusco

Check Price
 

Italian wine is not a stand-alone phenomenon and is crafted to be enjoyed with food, whether it’s a filling lunch, an afternoon plate of antipasto, or Nonna’s home-cooked dinner.

Riunite Lambrusco is a lower ABV (8%) red wine made from the Lambrusco grape and is meant for enjoyment on occasions where there’s beautiful Italian food.

It’s a sweet but dry red wine on the palate and nicely acidic, the red grapes create a lovely deep red liquid that carries the aroma and taste of summer fruit and cherries but without the complex tannin found in pinot noir or cabernet sauvignon grapes.

As with most Lambrusco bottles, this Riunite is inexpensive and made for drinking companionably with friends and family.
