I ♥ lambrusco. I really do. And with summer literally at our doorstep, it’s that time again. Time for a cold fizzy glass of lambrusco. But, not just any lambrusco- Medici Ermete lambrusco- one of my favorites. I spent a few days with Alberto Medici last fall and had a pretty amazing time.
So when I was invited to a beach party in the ‘bu (Malibu for all you non Cali folks…or just sane people who don’t refer to a city with it’s last syllable) I thought it would be sick to make some killer sangria bro. With what else but…Lambrusco!
Simply delicious. The deep dark berry fruit flavors that are so naturally present in the wine were pumped up times 10 with the addition of the actual berries. I must say- I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to a bottle of Malbec or Rioja again in my sangria-making ventures.
PS- I could stare at the cross section of a blackberry for days.

Funny, I feel the same way about strawberries…
I’ve never actually seen lambrusco before. Can I find it at the local Total Wine & More, or do I need to make a trip out to my favorite waaaaay out of the way wine haven to find it?
PS: Love the new banner up top!

Shauna, you can also find Medici Ermete’s (ME) lambruscos (= Quercioli Dolce, Bocciolo, Solo, and Concerto) online at http://www.winerydirect.com This “ME Sangria” really, really looks delicious! Very cool!
omg, LAMBRUSCO! girl, you know how much I love that stuff…thanks for the reminder, I want to make sure to have some for my bday!
Lambrusco is not that hard to find actually. It’s just hard to find GOOD lambrusco. But- James the importer who wrote in above is your go to guy to get lambrusco. Also look out for these producers- Lini and Chiarli
