Carafoli 'L'Onesta' Lambrusco di Sorbara

Famiglia Carafoli “L’Onesta” Lambrusco di Sorbara
This vibrant sparkling Lambrusco is light, floral, and full of charm, opening with violet, rose petal, raspberry, sour cherry, and a touch of hibiscus. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing with a delicate mousse, bright red fruit, and a dry, gently savory finish that makes it especially lovely anything salty, sandy, and sunshiney.
