"I have discovered the best Lambrusco in the world," writes Daniele Cernilli, editor-in-chief of the Gambero Rosso
Guide to the Wines of Italy , "and it is called 'Corrigia Brut.' It is made by Lini in Correggio using Lambrusco Salamino and the champagne method. Serve it chilled... paired with charcuterie, fried foods, and flavorful first courses. You can even serve it with just a cracker topped with mortadella: it will make you feel like you can reach up and touch the sky with your finger."
When we tasted Lini's champagne-method Lambrusco last February, we -- like Cernilli -- found it to be the best Lambrusco we had ever tasted. Corrigia Brut is made using the champagne method or
metodo classico : after the initial fermentation, the wine is fermented again in bottle to create its inimitable bubbles. Made from 100% Salamino grapes (the most noble of the Lambrusco clones), this wine is rich and flavorful in the mouth. Our favorite pairing? Shards of Parmigiano Reggiano and strawberries drizzled ever so gently with a kiss of traditional balsamic vinegar.
