Sparkling red wines from Emilia-Romagna, excellent with Italian food in the summer.

Sparkling red sounds like soda.

Is this less unusual than I think?

Adam, we once drank like 2 bottles of this stuff with my mom at Pizzeria Mozza while nomming pizzas! It's not like soda, the bubbles are very small and there aren't too many of them. It's served chilled but not cold.

Ah, then it was so pricey that I blocked it from my memory! :P

Thanks for jogging my memory. That was excellent.
