Many people are sceptical to red sparkling wines and to lambrusco in particular. If you are, you should try this wine made by Alberto Salvadori in the Emilia Romagna region. La Battagliola Grasparossa Lambrusco can make the most ardent critic change his mind. The wine is deep blood red with a hint of purple and it froths charmingly when poured. The taste is full of red berries – strawberries, currants. There’s not a lot of alcohol, only 5%. The wine is traditionally served with prosciutto ham and mortadella sausage, also coming from Emilia Romagna. Expect some 8 euros for a bottle. www.labattagliola.it
