Podere Giardino Suoli Cataldi Lambrusco dell'Emilia 2022

$2299

Lambrusco gets dismissed as picnic wine, but a serious natural-leaning producer from Emilia-Romagna will quickly change your mind. Podere Giardino farms organically in Reggio Emilia, and the Suoli Cataldi cuvée — the name means 'Cataldi soils' — is their signature, a single-vineyard Lambrusco made in the Charmat tradition with a clean, low-intervention hand and minimal additions. The result is a fizzy red of real character — dark, dry, savory, and faintly funky in the best way, with a frothy pink head and the kind of bright, food-friendly bite that explains why Emilians drink this stuff with everything.

"The deep, dark red 2022 Lambrusco dell'Emilia Rosso Metodo Ancestrale Suoli Cataldi opens with an intense burst of black raspberries, blueberries, sage and crushed ashen stones. Savory to the core yet juicy and complex, it reveals depths of tart blackberry and flinty mineral tones elevated by zesty acidity. A mix of plum sauce, grilled herbs and exotic spice lingers, while a gentle tug of sour citrus keeps the mouth watering for more." —Eric Guido
