If you haven't bought Lambrusco before, you are missing out! And this example, made by the oldest winery in Emilia-Romagna, is the perfect intro to this lightly sparkling style. New and exclusive to Majestic and available from early November, it's a wine that stops you in your tracks. The arresting depth of purple colour in the glass tells you this is not going to be shy and retiring! The heady fragrance of violet and wild blackberries is seductive, and it's impossible not to take a sip. Packs a punch in the mouth too, with a depth of mouth-coating wild berry and dark cherry fruit. Textural and grippy with tart acidity, there's a dark edge to this wine, but it's fresh and joyful too. Serve it slightly chilled with a plate of charcuterie for the perfect autumn/winter snack. Mix six price: £13
