No idea what Lambrusco was like in the US but it had a horrid reputation in Europe. That reputation is no longer deserved. True we aren't talking vintage Moet et Chandon here but we aren't talking those prices either.
Last time but one time I hopped across the border to Italy I bought a case of pink Lambrusco (Rosato) for the bargain price of €12 (for 6 bottles - i. e. €2 / bottle).
One thing I have noticed is that I greatly prefer the Italian frizzante wines (e.g. proseco) to the Champagne style. Why? because they don't do a second fermentation with added yeat but let the original one continue after bottling. It gives a tarter and less overwhelming taste IMO
