Sweetness and freshness work together in Quercioli Reggiano Dolce. This lively red Lambrusco belongs to the Quercioli range from Medici Ermete, an estate deeply rooted in the wine traditions of Reggio Emilia. Its appeal lies in an expressive fruit profile, an inviting froth and the balance between sweetness and acidity.
