Donelli Lambrusco 75cl
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)Picture a red wine that bubbles. Donelli Lambrusco is bright ruby, lightly fizzy and gently sweet, like biting into ripe berries that happen to sparkle. At 8% it's soft and low-key, so you can actually enjoy a couple of glasses on a slow Nairobi evening without it knocking you sideways. Get it cold, pop it, and you've basically got a party in a bottle.
First sniff is all ripe red fruit. Think plump strawberry, black cherry and a little blackcurrant, with a soft bready note from the way it's made. The fizz is frothy and friendly rather than aggressive, so it tickles instead of bites. On the tongue it's smooth and gently sweet, that ripe-berry sweetness balanced by a flicker of fresh acidity that keeps it lively. Easy, fruity, and very hard to put down.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy, the green strip around Modena and Reggio Emilia that's also home to Parmesan, balsamic and Ferrari. The Donelli name goes back to 1915, when Adolfo Donelli took his home cellar bottling and turned it into a proper winery. Lambrusco is the grape and the wine, made fizzy in a tank using the Charmat method rather than bottle by bottle, which keeps it fresh, fruity and easy on the wallet.
