San Vincent Frizzante

Same fun as always. Tart rhubarb and wild strawberries open it up, then the lees ageing arrives - bread crust, mineral sass, a hint of Sicilian orange dancing around the edges. Bone dry, focused, with bubbles that actually know their job. Not profound, just delicious in its own stubborn way.

Listen, this Lambrusco di Sorbara pulls off something properly clever. Opens with tart rhubarb and wild strawberries, then that lees aging shows up like an uninvited but charming guest - all bread crust and mineral sass. The Sicilian orange note keeps dancing around the edges, lifted by bubbles that actually know their job. Bone dry, focused, weirdly sophisticated for what could easily be party fizz. It's like watching someone do ballet in combat boots - shouldn't work, but somehow does. Not profound, just delicious in its own stubborn way.
