Borgofulvia Lambrusco Rosso Dolce is a delightfully vibrant, semi-sparkling (frizzante) sweet red wine hailing from the renowned Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy.
We LOVE this wine. It's fun, fabulous and incredible drinkable, a real customer favourite. It's brimming with juicy red berry fruit and gently lifted by a soft, refreshing effervescence, this indulgent red fizz offers a irresistibly lush, lower-alcohol option that is meant to be served chilled.
Tasting Notes & Style: Crafted using natural fermentation in stainless steel pressure tanks to preserve its intense fruit aromas, this sweet sparkling red delivers a beautifully balanced and playful sensory profile:
The Nose: Expressive and fragrant aromas of crushed ripe blackberries, wild strawberries, dark cherry jam, and a delicate floral touch of violet. • The Palate: Rich, smooth, and fruit-forward with a luscious sweetness that is kept perfectly lively by a light, creamy mousse and bright natural acidity. • The Finish: Clean, juicy, and wonderfully refreshing, leaving a delicious lingering note of fresh summer berries without feeling cloying.
Best For & Gifting Occasions
- Ideal Alternative to: Sweet sparkling wines, Ruby Port, Brachetto d'Acqui, or sangria.
