I agree that Riunite Lambrusco is actually pretty tasty particularly when considering the price.

QOTD: Yes, I’ve had about 3 or 4 other ones. I like Lambrusco, it’s a fun simple and tasty wine based on my experience.

“A sure sign that dry Lambrusco has finally superseded its tarnished image is its cheery presence on so many wine lists of late, like Andrew Carmellini’s Locanda Verde and Franny’s — something that would have been anathema to any self-respecting wine bar or restaurant a few years ago.” – Toby Cecchini, NYT Magazine

No doubt this wine is probably good. But I wouldn’t insult Riunite. I had one brand of Lambrusco other than Riunite. It was more expensive so I assumed it would be better. Boy was I wrong, it was similar to Riunite but not quite as smooth.

Riunite Lambrusco is a great wine, because of it’s soft flavor many non-wine drinkers can enjoy it… I love nothing better than to share wine socially. It has great balance between sweetness and bitterness, also, the slight sparkle adds an element of refreshment without foaming up.

I would try any variety of Lambrusco once, but to beat the taste, price and universal likability of Riunite brand Lambrsuco would be hard in my opinion.
