Giano Lambrusco Mantovano

Made just outside the borders of Emilia-Romagna, the Giano is a serious, dry expression of Lambrusco from the Po Valley in Lombardy, made by one of the region's most respected natural producers. Deep ruby with a persistent violet fizz, it opens with aromas of wild cherry, blackberry, and a hint of violet, leading to a palate that's fresh, lightly tannic, and bracingly dry.

This is the Lambrusco you reach for when you want something genuinely interesting: versatile enough for the table, characterful enough to sip on its own. Chill it down and pour it alongside charcuterie, aged Parmigiano, or a plate of prosciutto e melone.
