KYLE PHILLIPS'S ITALIAN WINE REVIEW
(April 6th, 2007)

Le Tenute Bocciolo Lambrusco Grasparossa
DOC 2006
Lot 15/07
Impenetrable pigeon blood ruby with violet rim. And fine purple perlage. The bouquet is deft, with elegant sweetish plum cherry fruit with clean spice and some raspberry accents that gain depth from greenish notes. Pleasant and inviting. On the palate it's it's rich, and full, with powerful raspberry plum fruit with pleasing sweetness supported by clean dusky tannins and mineral acidity that flow into a long clean brambly finish. Quite welcoming, an ideal picnic or poolside wine that will go very fast. It's one fot eh finest sweet Lambrusco's I've had, and perfect for when you want to simply open a bottle and enjoy it, in a sweet key. 2 stars

Super Bowl Wines

Medici Ermete Lambrusco Bocciolo "Grasparossa" 2005 a slightly sparkling chilled red, Lambrusco is a perfect Super Bowl drink. Boasting a dry, cleansing palate of blackberries, raspberries and roses, Lambrusco is quite the companion for barbecue chicken wings and potato chips.

2005 Medici Ermete Bocciolo
Colli di Scandiano e di Canossa Lambrusco Grasparossa Dolce ($15)
Made in the sweet style, this is like fizzy currant syrup with a kick. Make fun of it and it'll whup you good. At 7.5 percent alcohol, this should push alcopops off the market.
