90pts Wine Enthusiast

Aromas oscillate between luscious plum and blackberry jam and fragrant, savory herbs like rosemary and sage, intertwined with evocative forest scents of damp earth, mushrooms, and fallen leaves. This Lambrusco epitomizes the classic style, with a core of dark, succulent fruit flavors enveloped by a captivating mélange of spice, earthy undertones, and savory notes on the robust finish.

Winemaker Notes

Medici’s ‘Quercioli’ Lambrusco dolce (sweet) is a sparkling red wine sourced primarily from the estate’s organically farmed ‘Quercioli’ vineyard outside of the city of Reggio Emilia in Italy’s Emilia Romagna region. The yields of these estate Lambrusco vines are restricted for quality. A blend of 50% Marani and 50% Salamino, this wine captures best of both grapes. The intense aromatics and structure of Salamino are blended with the fresh acidity of Marani, making these wines perfectly balanced. The wine is best served at a temperature of 47 – 49 degrees Fahrenheit and should be consumed within two years of age. Bright ruby red with persistent bubbles, the wine shows delicate floral notes of violet leading to a luxuriously sweet, fresh, vivacious palate that is pleasantly harmonious.
