Lambrusco is Back (and It’s Not What You Remember)

Elizabeth Lewis Best Lambrusco 2025 The Three Drinkers DRINKLUSIVE

When you think of Italian sparkling wines, your first thought might be prosecco, and who can blame you! It’s a fun, flirty, delicious drink that lends itself to many spritzes and cocktails. But there’s another Italian sparkling wine making a triumphant comeback. Say ciao again to Lambrusco! 

Available in dry (secco), off dry (amabile/semisecco) and sweet (dolce) styles, Lambrusco is the sparkling wine that can do it all. ‘Lambrusco’ - the name referring to both the grape varieties used and the style of wine itself - is one of the oldest wines made in northern Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. Yes, the same region that is famous for its Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and balsamic vinegar!

During the wine boom of the late 1970s and 1980s, this sparkling red wine flooded the international market, helped by catchy marketing like this playful Riunite commercial, featuring a frolicking couple in idyllic Italian settings. However, unlike the dryer styles sipped in Italy, these exported Lambruscos were incredibly sweet, and the focus on impulse for profit over product, and volume over quality, saw this incredible style of wine relegated to a punchline.

Thankfully, that’s changing.

Today, more and more Italian winemakers are taking a stand and showcasing just how elegant and nuanced Lambrusco can be. These days, there are over 60 different varieties of Lambrusco grapes, and with so many options, those curious to explore are spoilt for choice! Here are some of the bottles worth uncorking.

Quercioli Lambrusco Reggiano DOC Secco

This is a dry, ruby red wine that makes a statement the moment it’s poured into your glass. Deep red fruit flavours complement a balanced palate, with soft floral notes on the nose. It’s the perfect drink for summer BBQs or hearty pasta dishes like a beef ragu - and it won’t break the bank.

Innovation married with deep traditional roots, this is a wonderful choice for those looking for something to satisfy their sweet tooth.

Cantina di Soliera is a cooperative winery that champions Lambrusco as its hero wine, believing it embodies the authentic spirit of the region - a celebration of both tradition and the people. This wine is a deep grapefruit pink and has aromas of perfectly ripe raspberries and spring rhubarb, while its higher acidity balances the dry, fruit-forward character beautifully. The finish of this wine is bright with a slight grip, making it a versatile food wine that pairs well with fish dishes, local regional fare, or even sushi.

This particular Lambrusco is aged in stainless steel tanks, so the fresh and fruit-forward nature of the wine shines with ease and maintains its delicate floral aromas.

Nivola Lambrusco The Three Drinkers Best Lambrusco 2025 Elizabeth Lewis

Cleto Chiarli is the oldest producer of wines from the Emilia-Romagna region, having started production back in 1860, and their expertise shines with this special bottle. Made from 100% Grasparossa Lambrusco grapes, when freshly poured into a glass, the Niviola is a deep currant red, complemented by a violet mousse. Its dry and gentle fizz is expertly balanced with notes of cranberry and ripe red fruits, forming a fuller and gently grippy glass. It would be a perfect companion to a roast dinner, cured meats or anything with balsamic vinegar. Elegant, classic and delicate.

Nominative determinism? Perhaps! Another iteration from the highly influential and respected Medici Ermete, who has been a champion in rehabilitating Lambrusco’s image. With sights set on uncompromising excellence, La Favorita reflects these efforts. This Lambrusco is plump, full and bursting to the brim with black currant, ripe raspberry, red fruits and just a whisper of violets. Harmonious, crisp and utterly delicious, it pairs wonderfully with Bolognese, red meat dishes or delicious Parma ham.

A lush pink in the bottle, when poured it opens with aromas of tart wild strawberries, just ripe raspberries, sherbert and a delicate funkiness typical of the style. High in acid with a generous sparkly fizz, this Lambrusco is the perfect aperitif to share with friends on a hot summer day.

"Puro!" Lambrusco Emilia IGP

Puro! Lambrusco Emilia IGP The Three Drinkers Best Lambrusco 2025 Elizabeth Lewis

Vitivinicola Fangareggi was founded in 2005, but four generations have worked together to create wines that honour tradition and the land while embracing the future. Harvested by hand to ensure excellence and transformed into sparkling wine by undergoing a second fermentation in a pressurised tank (a.k.a. the Charmat method used to make Prosecco), Puro! is fresh and fruit forward. Made using 100% Lambrusco Salamino grapes, it delivers unwavering black cherry and plum notes.

Bergianti San Vincent Frizzante

Bergianti San Vincent Frizzante The Three Drinkers Best Lambrusco 2025 Elizabeth Lewis

Gianluca Bergianti has been producing biodynamic wines from the start. This 100% Sorbara Lambrusco is a brilliant example of those efforts.

9 Must-Try English Wines for Every Occasion

Let’s make something clear: English wine is having a moment. Long gone are the days of politely saying “oh, it’s actually not bad!” - today’s bottles are bold, brilliant, and absolutely worthy of international attention.

Yes, we all know the flipside: English wine isn’t always cheap. With a young industry and relatively small yields, prices can feel a bit punchy - and that can make trying something new a bit of a gamble.

But here’s the good news: that’s changing. More and more producers are offering wines that are both excellent and affordable. We’ve rounded up nine bottles from across the country - from the chalky soils of the south to gold-medal winners in the north - that prove you don’t need to spend a fortune to drink well. Most of them come in under £20, and not one breaks the £40 mark. So whether you’re after something crisp, creamy, sparkling or still, there’s plenty to get excited about - whatever your mood, budget, or dinner plans.

Three Choirs Stonebrook 2022/23 (Gloucestershire)

Three Choirs Stonebrook 202223 The Three Drinkers Best English Wine 2025 Natalia Pasichnyk.jpg

Back in 1973, Alan McKechnie decided his farm in Gloucestershire - tucked between hills and sheltered from the worst of the weather - might be just the place for growing vines. That’s how Three Choirs Vineyard got started, named after one of the UK’s oldest choral music festivals. 

Since then, their wines have racked up awards, travelled the world, and even made it into British Airways First Class. But these days, more and more bottles are staying right here at home, with growing demand from UK wine lovers. 

The team at Three Choirs say it’s the sandy soil that gives their wines a lovely fruit-forward character - and it definitely comes through in Stone Brook. It’s a blend of Siegerrebe and Solaris (grapes that love cooler climates), and it smells like a summer garden in full swing… with a tropical twist. Think lychee, pineapple, peach - surprising, but somehow it works.

Just when you’re floating off to warmer places, a zing of grapefruit, a hit of fresh-cut grass and a pinch of white pepper bring everything back into balance.

Try it with a mild curry or a goat’s cheese salad. It’s a great reminder that English wine isn’t just having a moment - it’s here to stay.

Chapel Down Bacchus 2023 (Kent)

Chapel Down Bacchus 2023 The Three Drinkers Best English Wine 2025 Natalia Pasichnyk

If Bacchus, the Roman god of wine had Instagram, this one would definitely be on his grid. Once a bit of an underdog, the Bacchus grape has been making waves in English vineyards lately - soaking up more sunshine (thanks, climate change?) and growing in confidence.

Chapel Down’s Classic Bacchus brings together fruit grown in Kent, Essex and East Sussex - three regions with their own microclimates and terroirs. The soils here range from chalk to clay, which helps give the wine its crisp texture and vibrant aromatics.

It’s also a more sustainable choice. Bacchus ripens relatively early, reducing the need for energy-intensive vineyard interventions. Many producers (including Chapel Down) are now moving toward lower-impact farming and greener bottling practices. 

In the glass, it’s a pale straw colour. On the nose: gooseberry, elderflower and a hint of nettle. Take a sip and you’ll find crisp green apple, a twist of lemon zest, and a slice of sun-warmed melon. Bright, clean and expressive - a snapshot of the English countryside in late spring.

The finish is fresh, zippy, and lingers like a long summer afternoon.

Pro tip: take it out of the fridge 15–20 minutes before pouring. Pairs beautifully with seasonal veg, herby fish dishes, or anything fresh from the farmers’ market.

Simpsons Estate Pinot Noir Rosé 2023 (Kent)

Simpsons Estate Pinot Noir Rosé 2023 The Three Drinkers Best English Wine 2025 Natalia Pasichnyk

About twenty years ago, Charles and Ruth Simpson were happily making wine in the sunny south of France - but then came a change in the wind (or maybe just the English weather calling), and they decided to become part of the English wine revolution. 

Their estate is in one of Kent’s designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The winery is nestled between two vineyards, both within walking distance, which means the grapes get the VIP treatment from vine to vat.

This is the more wallet-friendly rosé from the same winemakers whose Railway Hill Rosé was crowned Best Still Rosé at the 2024 WineGB Awards. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, this rosé is a bright, expressive showcase of local terroir. It kicks off with fresh aromas of strawberries and pink grapefruit, then opens up into juicy watermelon, peaches, and tart cranberries sprinkled with a hint of savoury herbs.

The colour alone is calling out for a plate of salmon - grilled or smoked, your choice. That said, it’d pair just as nicely with roast chicken or a herby couscous salad.

Silverhand Estate Sparkling Brut (Kent)

Silverhand Estate Sparkling Brut The Three Drinkers Best English Wine 2025 Natalia Pasichnyk

For a while now, English sparkling wines have been making headlines for beating Champagne in blind tastings - but they haven’t always been easy on the wallet. That’s what makes Silverhand Estate Sparkling Brut stand out: it offers impressive quality at a price that won’t make you wince.

Based in Kent, Silverhand is the UK’s largest single-estate organic vineyard and also the first in the country to achieve a carbon-negative status. Rare-breed sheep roam freely between the vines, helping fertilise the land and break up the soil naturally. The estate sits on the same chalky, flinty soils as Champagne’s Côte des Blancs - ideal for growing the classic sparkling varieties. 

This bottle blends the traditional Champagne grapes - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. It’s made using the Charmat method (just like Prosecco), keeping the price reasonable without compromising on flavour.

On the nose, there’s citrus, pear and honeysuckle with a soft creamy touch. It’s not bone-dry, but has lovely refreshing acidity. Think pear tart with lemon zest and juicy white peaches on the palate. A perfect partner for a seaside picnic - preferably with fish and chips.

Stopham Estate Pinot Gris 2023 (West Sussex)

Stopham Estate Pinot Gris 2023 The Three Drinkers Best English Wine 2025 Natalia Pasichnyk

What does Formula 1 have in common with English Pinot Gris? Quite a lot, actually, if you ask Simon Woodhead. Before turning his talents to winemaking in 2007, Simon designed parts for race cars. Now, he’s steering things in a slightly more bucolic direction, crafting wines in the rolling hills of West Sussex with a medieval church watching over the vineyards.

At Stopham Estate, sustainability is built into everything they do. The team avoid over-cultivating the soils, never spray herbicides, and let wild grasses flourish between the vines.

Their Pinot Gris is a fantastic snapshot of how English still wines are evolving, winning multiple awards over the years - including a Bronze at the 2024 Independent English Wine Awards. Once crisp and bracing, it’s now blossomed into something with more complexity and elegance. You’ll find floral aromas wrapped around tropical fruit, ripe melon, and a gentle hint of ginger spice. You could even cellar it for a couple of years, but it’s already drinking beautifully.

Dunesforde Pinot Gris 2022 (Yorkshire)

Dunesforde Pinot Gris 2022 The Three Drinkers Best English Wine 2025 Natalia Pasichnyk

Who says good wine only comes from the south? Let’s head up north to the Yorkshire Vale to meet a wine that’s been turning heads - and winning trophies. Dunesforde’s 2022 Pinot Gris scooped Gold and the Best Single Varietal White Wine Trophy at the 2024 WineGB Awards. Not bad for a family-run estate that only released its first wines in 2019.

The Townsend family is on a mission to prove cool-climate wines can be exceptional -  and the long, warm summer of 2022 gave them just the opportunity. Alongside their sparkling wines, they crafted this still Pinot Gris, and the results are delicious: a vibrant, textured wine that’s as moreish as it is sophisticated.

Imagine ripe pears and apricots drizzled with honey, a flicker of citrus peel, and a mouthfeel that’s silky yet bright. Serve it chilled, but not straight from the fridge - let those delicate aromatics shine. It’s a dream with chicken tikka masala, pad Thai, or a wedge of Manchego cheese.

Lyme Bay Winery Chardonnay 2022 (Devon)

Lyme Bay Winery Chardonnay 2022 The Three Drinkers Best English Wine 2025 Natalia Pasichnyk

Lyme Bay is definitely one to watch. Just a few weeks ago, this Devon-based winery did what no other English producer had managed before: it scooped National Trophies for both Best English Red and Best English White at the 2025 International Wine Challenge. Not bad for a team tucked away in the picturesque Axe Valley, a stone’s throw from the Jurassic Coast.

They’ve been at it for over 30 years, now sourcing top-quality grapes from the best soils and microclimates across the country. This Chardonnay, the younger sibling of their award-winning white, is made from fruit picked in early October from four vineyards in Essex, including Crouch Valley, which winemaker consultant Clem Yates MW calls “the best place in the UK for still wines right now.”

“We’re not chasing Burgundy - we’re chasing excellence,” Clem says. And this wine is heading in that direction: rich, creamy, and structured enough to age for a good few years. Expect grilled peach with a squeeze of lemon, orange marmalade, and a little toasted almond on the finish. Lees ageing and gentle oak give it body without heaviness, and a bright acidity keeps everything in balance. A top pick for pairing with creamy pasta, roast white fish, or vegetable risotto.

Balfour Luke’s Pinot Noir 2023 (Kent)

Balfour Luke’s Pinot Noir 2023 The Three Drinkers Best English Wine 2025 Natalia Pasichnyk

There was a time when “English wine” basically meant “English sparkling.” But still wines are gaining ground - and when it comes to reds, Pinot Noir is leading the charge. Tricky, temperamental, and totally irresistible to winemakers, it’s the grape so many want to master. But only a few succeed.

The team at Balfour are veterans of the English wine game. They work with Burgundian clones - in other words, the good stuff. Grown on clay soils, this Pinot channels the light, silky character of cool-climate New World styles, but it’s developed a personality all its own.

The nose is lively with red cherry, raspberry and wildflowers. On the palate, you’ll find deeper forest berries and a whisper of woodland after rain. A light touch of oak (around 8%) brings subtle structure and a touch of peppery spice. Winemaker Fergus Elias suggests pairing it with barbecued lamb rubbed in Moroccan spices, moussaka, or roasted aubergine. It’s also a dream with a confit duck.

Leonardslee Vintage Brut Rosé 2021 (Sussex)

Leonardslee Vintage Brut Rosé 2021 The Three Drinkers Best English Wine 2025 Natalia Pasichnyk

Each year, a barn swallow makes the journey from Sussex to Africa and back again. No wonder it’s a fitting emblem for Leonardslee, the UK’s first golf & wine estate, founded by a family with deep South African winemaking roots.

The estate brought in South African expertise too: winemaker Johann Fourie and viticulturist Barry Anderson now lead the charge in the vineyard. The focus here is firmly on sustainability - even the on-site restaurant has earned a Michelin Green Star.

This 2021 vintage rosé brut, a medal winner at the 2024 WineGB Awards, adds a South African twist to the classic blend too: 10% Pinotage, grown right here in English soil. Grapes are handpicked at dawn and whole-bunch pressed, with the wine spending 30 months on lees.

The result? A sparkling rosé that evokes a spring orchard in full bloom, with raspberry, cherry, and a faint whiff of sea salt over rose-flavoured Turkish delight. Pair it with ripe strawberries and soft cheeses like Brie or Robiola. Fewer than 7,000 bottles were made - so if you see one, grab it while you can.

Size: 750ml
ABV: 12%
Find here: £38 - Leonardslee

Right now is the perfect time to get tasting. Plan a trip to a local vineyard (there are more than you think), explore a new bottle or two, and raise a glass to the brilliant producers shaping the future of English wine. With every harvest, it gets more exciting - and the best bit? This is just the beginning.

4 Sparkling Reds You Need To Try This Christmas

Best Sparkling Red Wine Zach Sapato The Three Drinkers

The key to holiday effervescence is time with loved ones, great food, and the often overlooked category of sparkling red wines. Many wine lovers aren’t well-informed on this category, if they know it exists at all. The category itself tends to get a one-note reputation from the popularity of the overly sweet varieties making people assume all sparkling reds fit into this box. While sweet sparkling reds are definitely enjoyable, there’s also options all over the sweet-dry spectrum that can be enjoyed by all. 

Sparkling red wine has the advantage of the deep cozy feelings that red wine brings into the holidays, as well as the bold and counter-cultural self-assured prestige which can accompany one’s appreciation of any under-valued category. Whether the goal is to impress loved ones with elevated tastes or just imbibe in a range of unique and delightful seasonal sparkles, these four bubbly bangers will dance over any taste buds for some holiday happiness! 

Bolney Wine Estate Cuvée Noir

Best Sparkling Red Wine Bolney Wine Estate Cuvée Noir Zach Sapato The Three Drinkers

Starting with a traditional sweet wine for those looking for that delicious pairing for puddings, this deep sparkling red is everything the category's been known for. However, most fans will be expecting one of two locations to be producing this type of wine: Italy or Australia. While others on this list do, in fact, hail from those locations, this one comes from a place a little closer to home. Bolney Wine Estate in West Sussex, England brings a unique and unexpected origin to this list and uses 100% Dornfelder, a red grape from Germany. This wine has a robust bubble structure, which adds some levity to the sweet red plums and red cherries.

Cantina Di Soliera Lambrusco Grasparossa Di Castelvetro NV 

Best Sparkling Red Wine Cantina Di Soliera Lambrusco Grasparossa Di Castelvetro NV  Zach Sapato The Three Drinkers

An exemplar of the category, this lambrusco originates in Italy and brings a pure traditional flavor. Flavor. Super intense red, full of red and black forest fruits, and bringing delicate sweetness to the table. Where this one differs, is in bubble structure. A bit lighter than the previous selection and a touch dryer. Being a bit more airy, it does come across less sweet than a dessert wine but sweeter still than a before dinner drink. The light-heartedness of this might work best between meals or balancing a spicy or citrusy fish-based meal. The tannins at the end are what give it a dry sense that make it go down a little too quick and a little too easy.

Peter Lehmann Masters Black Queen Shiraz Sparkling Wine

The heavy hitter of this list, this wine tops out at 14%. A big swing of blackberries, blueberries, and deep rich tones of dark chocolate. Though the finish on this one isn't as dry, the wine itself does not lean as sweet as the others. The depth of this wine brings soft bubbles that won't overpower any of its delicate flavors. This is absolutely a during-dinner sparkling red - hearty enough to hold up to a full day of holiday conversations and smooth enough to accompany any roast dinner. The Australian sparkling Shiraz is the alternative answer given to those seeking to discover the opposite side of the sweet reputation of sparkling reds.

Size: 75cl
ABV: 14%

Paulett Trillians Sparkling Red

Best Sparkling Red Wine Paulett Trillians Sparkling Red Zach Sapato The Three Drinkers

Another from the Australian side of sparkling reds, this wine is a blend that incorporates some savory notes and minerality. Not as deep and brooding as any others on the list, it is lively, easy drinking, and well balanced. There are certainly more tannins in the finish than any others on the list, and would be recommended for experienced wine drinkers possibly new to sparkling reds. The simple label and undefined category do not do justice to the complexity and flavor, this wine brings to the sparkling red category. The snappy bubbles and versatile flavors will keep conversation flowing, jovial company, and any palate primed for a night of cozy celebration. 

Size: 75cl 
ABV: 13.5%
Find here: £17.00

Sparkling red wines can be an unexpected holiday hero, bringing both festivity and versatility to your gatherings. Shattering stereotypes is easy with a few deep dives into the options online. The category is as diverse as every palate attending the festive celebration. Savoring the traditional sweetness of the Cuvée Noir, exploring the Italian charm of Lambrusco, diving into the rich depths of sparkling Shiraz, or enjoying the lively balance of a blend. Each bottle can bring something unique to the event with warmth, connection, and even a touch of extraordinary.

Let your wine glasses sparkle as much as your celebrations, let your pairings pop outside expectations, and let the cozy rich colors of the holidays spill into your sparkling wines.
