Default [TN] Rinaldini Lambrusco

After such sage advice from this group, I come home tonight to find that
Jean has made lasagne Bolognese and chilled the Rinaldini Lambrusco
Grasparossa "Vecchio Moro." Not being one to put her off any
inspiration, I assented to the choice and we opened it

nose: initially grapey, turning more savory in an herbal vein with time
palate: vivacious, firm mousse, crisp acidity, slightly off-dry, fine
grained tannins

Indeed, this is fun wine! I remind Jean of the Riunite of her youth,
and we both agree that there is no family resemblance whatsoever to this
wine. As the bottle sits open, it goes from very grapey to a more
savory and subdued wine with herbal overtones. If anything, it gets
drier with time, too.

Fun, fun, fun!
