Lambrusco, a sparkling red wine from the Emilio-Romagna region of Italy, is a versatile red to chill and serve. It's ideal for summer dining. Alicia Lini's family has produced Lambrusco sparkling wines since 1910. Fanny Heucq's great grandfather started Champagne André Heucq in 1936. The domain is located in the Vallée de Marne, an important growing area for Pinot Meunier. Heucq's cuvées are Meunier focused, both as a 100% single varietal champagne and in a traditional Champagne blend.
