Up until a few years ago, this small wonderful producer in Emilia-Romagna (remember Zerbina?) had been making Lambrusco di Sorbara, that most Americans hadn’t heard of nor tried.
As you may know, there are a few Lambrusco types. A lot of you probably think of the hearty, dark colored Lambruscos, the Lambrusco di Grasparossa– but this is something different altogether.
Today’s gem comes from Paltrinieri, who many believe to be the very best producer of Lambrusco di Sorbara. It’s a lighter style than the Grasparossa– bright, floral and expressive with bright acidity, minerality and a crisp, memorable finish.
Up until a few years ago, most wine drinkers hadn’t heard of the fourth generation winemakers the Paltrinieris. But that would all change in 2018. That was the first of three years that the Paltrinieri’s Lambrusco di Sorbara was given an unheard of 95-point score from Wine Enthusiast for just a $20/btl of wine and an inclusion towards the top of their Top 100 Wines of the Year list.
The new release promises to be the best yet, seeing as it’s already the first Paltrinieri Lambrusco to have earned an Editors’ Choice designate along with its shiny 95-point score. But seeing as it earned slightly higher praise than its predecessors, it’s fair to question whether this years version will grace the Top 10 in the Wine of the Year charts.

One of the best Lambruscos out there, this delicious, vibrant wine opens with enticing scents of wild red berry, yellow stone fruit, citrus blossom and a yeasty, comforting whiff of pastry dough. Made by carrying out the secondary fermentation in the bottle, the dry, delicious palate delivers pink grapefruit, crushed strawberry and tangerine alongside crisp acidity and a saline note.

The winery made famous by Brad Pitt and Angelina is more famous in the wine world for their fleet of top Provencal Roses made by none other than superstar winemaker Marc Perrin, who has countless times turned the wine world on its head with his 100-point Chateauneuf du Papes at Chateau de Beaucastel. His 2022 Miraval Rose has a great salmon color with juicy notes of macerated cherries, strawberry currants, citrus and a lemon zest. It flashes that refreshing minerality that has become a Provence signature but crafted at 1100 ft above sea level, its crispness and vibrancy is unparalleled.
The Bernard Reverdy Sancerre Rose 2022 is gorgeous. A beautiful pale pink to the brim, this baby is fresh and super aromatic with a complex nose of citrus, wild strawberries and white flowers. With air, higher tones emerge, with a great mingling of ripe fruit, and stony minerality. Medium-bodied, fresh and focused on the palate, with concise limestone-drive acidity, this is an elegant, lively, and energetic Sancerre Rose that mirrors the warm vintage but also the old vines rooting deep in stony soils. This is so much better than your run-of-the mill Rose – it’s an ageworthy, food-friendly Rose
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.

The Bisol “Jeio” Prosecco NV is a delicious sparkler that comes from the Veneto region of northeast Italy. A brilliant straw yellow color, the first sip is an intense and fresh nose of citrus fruits and saline sensations. If you love fruit forward sparklers… this one is for you.
