Barbolini Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro is a dry, red, and sparkling Italian wine that goes great with almost anything. Best of all, it’s under $20.
We had no idea there was a white Pinot Noir, but that’s exactly what we find in Kurt’s next pick, Anomaly. Expect an “aromatic cherry and flower pinot, with gentle mouth feel and a zing of acidity.” $20.
If you’re looking for something more earthy, try the Braida il Bacialé. This wine blends 60% Barbera, 20% Pinot Noir, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot. $30.
For those really hoping to impress, Kurt recommends the Gatinois Brut Rosé. This is the Champagne that the vineyards keep for themselves. Seriously. Good. Stuff. “Cherry and raspberry fruit, with bright acidity [make this a] nicely balanced, and very clean” choice. $60.
