Tasting Notes: Love dry reds and sparkling wine but are looking for a change? We love the Medici Ermete Concerto Organic Reggiano Lambrusco DOC 2020, which offers the best of both worlds as it is a dry red wine, and it is also a semi-sparkling wine.

The Medici family winery has stood the test of time since 1890, and aways innovative, "in 2018 they converted all of its 200 acres of estate vineyards from sustainable to organic farming." What that means for consumers is that they use "no herbicides, no pesticides, and no fertilizers." With the rise in healthy eating practices, this allows for healthy drinking practices as well.

Made from 100% Lambrusco Salamino organic grapes grown in clay soil with highly limited yields from the renowned Tenuta La Rampata vineyard in the Reggio-Emilia province of Northern Italy, the wine has a sugar level of 9g/l and falls in the Brut category (under 15 g/l) and has a deep ruby red color. The vineyard notes that 2020 was an excellent harvest year, with a warm and sunny April, rain in May, and a hot, dry summer beginning in mid-June that provided excellent grape maturation. The harvesting commenced in late September and continued into early October.

The aromatic nose offers a rich bouquet of ripe berries. On the palate there are notes of raspberries, ripe strawberries, and cherries. With balanced acidity and tannins, this is a dry, flavorful, and fruity red wine that is perfect to pair with food yet can easily stand alone. This wine is best consumed young, within 2 years of its vintage.

Pairing Suggestions: Pairs well with food including charcuterie, grilled meat, pasta dishes like tortellini or lasagna, as well as with cheese. We paired the Medici Ermete Concerto Organic Reggiano Lambrusco DOC 2020 with crab and mushroom crusted tilapia accompanied with au gratin potato galette, and asparagus, and found that the wine provided a nice counterbalance to the earthiness of the mushrooms and enough acidity to complement the cheese in the potato galette.
