Cantine Mederfil Lambrusco Reggiano "Le Grotte"

I’d serve this as an opener where everyone can have a glass, but that’s about it. Good, not great. A different experience.

Dark garnet-purple. Bit of licorice on the nose, otherwise neutral grape juice. Tastes fairly flat, grape cola, lightly sweet, tiny bit of fizz. I don't hate it, but calling it wine is... generous. This is alcoholic grape soda.

This soft red blend is full of vibrancy, notes of berries and chocolate. While it’s on the sweeter side of my palate, I don’t think I would purchase again. However, this bottle will go great with any platter.

Sweet, tart, easy drinking with a tiny bit of bubbles.

Pleasant slight sweet slight bubbles mild to med body

Refreshing to drink cold it tastes like Concorde grape juice with some tannin and leather. not bad for five bucks on a hot day.

Lambrusco remains an underrated wine. Yes, it's a little sweet but it is light, a little fizzy and refreshing. Perfect with a burger, pizza or spaghetti. 90 is this one compared to other similar wines not to a big cab

This wine is art and tart, full of sediment and I am sure it is past its prime, but as pleasing as the best of Lambic beers. As beautiful and refreshing as any bottle pulled from a picnic basket could wish to be on a hot summer day. A jug of Le Grotte, a loaf of bread, and Thou on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea above Monte Carlo. Think Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. Or is it the Gulf …

Wow. Sweet like non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice, but with alcohol. Not even a hint of wine like or fermented flavor. Sarah hated this wine. Ryan found no obvious flaws in the wine, other than the fact it didn't taste like wine. Easy to drink as a low alcohol wine cooler, but much more potent.

Better than I expected, but not sure I would call it good. Light, fruity and a bit on the sweet side. Would probably not buy again

Light and easy drinking. Slightly effervescent with almost artificial strawberry and cherry notes. Overall not bad for the price.

I've been looking around for a decent Lambrusco at places like Total Wine and TJ's. This isn't it. A very simple, fizzy red wine that costs $5 but could be carbonated Two-Buck Chuck. My search continues.

For the price, it's good. Fresh fruity. Juicy

Camping (Big Basin, CA) : Aromatics of a red wine with red cherry; palate is medium-bodied, lovely fresh acid with slight effervescence, nice red fruit, medium finish. Simple but super-easy to drink. Very nice. 87-88

It smells like almond, pineapple, red currant, violet, strawberry jam and raspberry. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle.

smooth and easy. 8% alcohol, sweet, and sparkling make it drinkable to any meals.

Sparkling, fruity, cherry

Sparkling red from traders joe

- Medium pearls - Not bad at all really, tasty, fizzy, low alcohol...great summer BBQ wine if you have a bunch of people over, throw it in a pitcher and add some fruit, get it really cold... You can't really go wrong.....I've had a bunch of "good" Lambrusco and honestly this isn't bad for the money .not fussy, always a crowd pleaser..balanced nicely, slightly sweet..Trader Joes 5 bucks...we always have a case around..

I've enjoyed many bottles of this over the years, sweet, maybe too sweet, but a hint of bitterness to keep things interesting. Good+.

I don't get the "light" taste others found. To me it was a little heavy and had a very strong grape (almost grape juice) taste about it. I prefer a softer wine, but with spaghetti and meatballs it did great for the price.

Simple, light, fruity summer wine. Hate to be so cliché but you have to go to Emilia–Romagna to get the real stuff.

Simple, light and fruity. A great summer drinker, perfect when you might otherwise have something white.

Fizzy Vinegar aka Frizzante Balsalmico....

Fruity/sweetish with sangria and concord grape flavors. Fun, but looking for a lambrusco with a bit more sophistication.

Are you sure?
