Riunite Lambrusco Is Perfect for Celebrating National Lambrusco Day
As we officially enter the summer season today, National Lambrusco Day will take place this weekend on Saturday, June 21, 2025. A perfect way to enjoy this day is cracking open a bottle of Riunite Lambrusco and making a fun cocktail such as a Riunite Lambrusco Spritz or a Riunite Lambrusco Classic Red Sangria.
Riunite is one of Italy’s most well-known wine brands that dates back 75 years. Established in 1950, Riunite is a historical Italian wine brand and a global leader in grape and wine production with a diverse product portfolio. Produced without added sugars, Riunitie’s wines offer an approachable character and natural sweetness. This category pioneer has been a staple in the American market since the 1970s.
Its Lambrusco is one of its most popular refreshing wines. Its fruity, semi-sweet and a touch fizzy as it sits at just 8% ABV. Arriving in a 750mL bottle, this one is best served chilled.
And since National Lambrusco Day takes place tomorrow, we have a couple of Lambrusco cocktail recipe for you – Riunite Lambrusco Spritz and Riunite Lambrusco Classic Red Sangria.
Riunite Lambrusco Spritz
To create a Riunite Lambrusco Spritz, combine 1 part Riunite Lambrusco with 1 part Maschio Prosecco DOC. Next, top it off with a splash of lemonade or a squeeze of lemon, served over ice and garnished with a vibrant lemon wheel. Then just sit back and enjoy this light, fruity spritz that’s perfect for any summer day.
Riunite Lambrusco Classic Red Sangria
Grab a pitcher with ice and add 1 lemon, 1 orange, 1 peach, and 1 ripe green apple all sliced. Then add one 750ml bottle of Riunite Lambrusco, ½ cup orange juice, ¼ cup Brandy (optional), ¼ cup Triple Sec, and 1 can of lemon-lime soda. Stir and enjoy!
