At Incanto, The Heights’ premier cocktail and wine bar in Houston, “Lambrusca” offers a sophisticated and vibrant experience, perfect for those who appreciate unique and flavorful wines. This wine, crafted from the Lambrusco grape, is a delightful blend of tradition and innovation, bringing a taste of Italy to your glass.
Lambrusca is a sparkling red wine known for its deep ruby hue and effervescent character. With origins in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, it’s a wine that carries with it centuries of winemaking expertise. At Incanto, we present Lambrusca as a celebration of this rich heritage, offering our guests a wine that is both lively and refreshing, yet full of depth and complexity.
On the nose, Lambrusca greets you with aromas of ripe red berries—think cherries, raspberries, and strawberries—mingled with subtle floral notes and a hint of earthiness that adds to its allure. The first sip reveals a delightful burst of fruity flavors, balanced by a slight acidity that makes it incredibly refreshing. The fine bubbles elevate the experience, adding a lightness that complements the wine’s robust flavors. The finish is smooth and slightly tannic, leaving a lingering taste that invites you to take another sip.
This wine is incredibly versatile, making it a perfect pairing for a variety of dishes on our menu. It shines particularly well alongside our charcuterie board, where the flavors of cured meats and aged cheeses enhance the wine’s fruity and slightly spicy notes. It also pairs beautifully with our pizzas and pastas, cutting through rich sauces with its crisp acidity, making each bite more enjoyable.
