Explosivo was created to showcase a style of red wine that has been in high demand recently in the US market: chillable, uncomplicated red wine. It features one of the region's native grapes, Vinhão, made in a style that complements its liter-sized bottle: juicy and fresh (despite its dark, inky color) rather than tannic and intense, which is the typical style in the region. Its light fizz appeals to Lambrusco drinkers (a well-recognized style of wine in the US), offering a much drier and more savory profile. The name and label refer to its "explosive" mouthfeel. Tasting notes: Fresh dark fruits (dark wild berries, plums), with an herbal and leafy touch. It has deep and dark flavors, followed by bright acidity and a slight fizz.
