Montelocco Rosso

Venturini Baldini

Extra dry, this is Venturini’s fruitiest and funnest Lambrusco, balanced by racy acidity, super soft tannins, and a refreshing energy, it exudes juicy black cherry and mediterranean herbs and the savoury charcuterie-perfect salinity that gave this variety its name: Salamino. Pairing this wine is as easy as remembering that Lambrusco is of the base-wine for making the famed balsamic vinegars of Emilia-Romagna (in fact Venturini Baldini is itself a Balsamic vinegar producer of great merit), so anything you would think to put balsamic on might make a beautiful pairing for this wine. Its juiciness, fresh acidity, and palate-cleansing effervescense already put it on the most flexible end of the spectrum for food pairing wines.
