Wine Folly: Page 256. I found the region of Italy this wine was made in and found a lambrusco. This is a sparkling red, but it had all the flavors of the Amboscato. The text listed cherry, blackberry, violet, and cream which could all be found in the wine. I am excited to try this wine and see if there is difference. 

My review: The color was medium red. This wine was sweet, but not overly sweet where it tasted like grape juice.I could taste a lot of fruit flavors like raspberry, cherry, plum. When I smelled it, there were hints of chocolate and raspberry. The alcohol content was only 5% so me and my boyfriend finished the bottle that night. I will be buying this wine again.
