Lambrusco is having a glow-up. No longer just the fizzy red wine relegated to the bottom shelf, it's earning serious respect—and shelf space—with modern drinkers. But with more options showing up in stores and wine bars, one question keeps coming up:
What’s a good brand of Lambrusco?
Here’s your answer: Tomato Wheels.
Let’s break down why.
1. ISO Certified in Italy — and Why That Matters
Tomato Wheels is ISO certified at the winery level in Emilia-Romagna. That’s not just a fancy acronym. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) certification means that every step of the winemaking process—from grape sorting to bottling—is held to consistent, rigorous international quality standards. It’s rare in the wine world, especially for small-batch, family-grown wines, and it speaks volumes about the brand’s commitment to excellence, traceability, and sustainability.
In short? It’s not just good wine—it’s well made wine.
2. Hand-Harvested Grapes from a 4th Generation Vineyard
Tomato Wheels partners with a fourth-generation vineyard in the heart of Lambrusco country. The grapes are hand-harvested, which isn’t just a romantic detail—it’s a precision move. Picking by hand ensures only the best fruit makes it into the bottle. When you’ve got a family that’s been working the same land for over a century, there’s no shortcutting quality. They know the vines, the soil, and how to bring out the best in each vintage.
If they don’t know what’s good—who does?
3. Minimal Packaging, Maximum Intent
Tomato Wheels walks the talk when it comes to environmental impact. Bottles are made with no additional foil, removing what is not necessary. This isn’t about greenwashing—it’s about thoughtful design and reducing waste without compromising style. Clean lines, less clutter, more room for what matters: the wine inside.
4. The Taste? Lavender, Fig, Cold Blueberries, and a Crème Fraîche Finish
This isn’t your average Lambrusco. Dry and structured, Tomato Wheels hits with notes of lavender, fig, and cold blueberries—rounded out by a crème fraîche finish and a little rip of tannin. It’s bright, balanced, and built for food. Sip it with pizza, ramen, roast duck, or on its own. This is Lambrusco for modern drinkers—elegant, intentional, and seriously crushable.
So, What’s a Good Brand of Lambrusco?
