91 - LECLISSE LAMBRUSCO DI SORBARA DOC 2016
Bright pink. Perfumed strawberry, red cherry and vanilla aromas and flavors. Clean fresh and long, with juicy creamy nuances that linger nicely on the fresh, precise back end. Lovely Lambrusco di Sorbara made from grapes grown in the Cristo vineyard, in my view the grand cru of Sorbara.
94 - LECLISSE LAMBRUSCO DI SORBARA DOC 2017
Made by the firm that helped put quality Lambrusco on the map, this delicious, stunning wine opens with enticing scents of wild berry, rose petal and citrus. The aromas carry over to the elegant, foaming palate along with juicy strawberry, creamy nectarine, grapefruit and a sprinkling of white pepper. A silky mousse gives it an irresistible texture, while fresh acidity keeps it balanced.

Crisp and delicious, this vibrant wine has aromas of strawberry, orange zest and violet. On the savory palate, tangy acidity accompanies crushed red cherry, pomegranate, white pepper and star anise set against a polished mousse. A hint of bread crust lingers on the close.
93 - RADICE CORONA LAMBRUSCO DI MODENA DOC 2016
This vibrant, slightly sparkling wine is one of the best Lambrucos out there. Made entirely from the Sorbara variety, it opens with enticing citrus, woodland berry and wildflower scents. Its crisp, delicious palate doles out strawberry and pink grapefruit notes alongside baking spice accents and racy acidity. The lees that have settled at the bottom of the bottle gives the last glass even more flavor.

One of the wines that put Lambrusco back on the map, this vibrant, linear wine boasts aromas of wild strawberry, violet, red cherry and grapefruit. The aromas carry through to the slightly sparkling, savory palate along with cinnamon and white pepper notes. Crisp acidity lifts the savory finish.
95 - RADICE CORONA LAMBRUSCO DI MODENA DOC 2018
#18 - Top 100 Wine List One of the best Lambruscos out there, this delicious vibrant wine opens with enticing scents of wild red berry, yellow stone fruit, citrus blossom and a yeasty comforting whiff of pastry dough. Made by carrying out the secondary fermentation in the bottle, the dry delicious palate delivers pink grapefruit, crushed strawberry and tangerine alongside crisp acidity and a saline note.
95 - RADICE CORONA LAMBRUSCO DI MODENA DOC 2019
Made by carrying out the second fermentation in the bottle, this radiant, lightly sparkling wine opens with heady aromas of citrus, violet and a yeasty whiff of bread dough. Bone-dry and delicious, the energized palate delivers tart sour cherry, juicy pomegranate, pink grapefruit and white pepper alongside crisp acidity and a savory hint of saline. One bottle probably won't be enough.
