Lambrusco Wines

Lambrusco is a versatile and historic red grape variety native to the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, best known for producing the vibrant and often sparkling wines that share its name. With several sub-varieties, such as Lambrusco di Sorbara and Lambrusco Grasparossa, the grape is capable of producing a range of wine styles, from dry and tannic to sweet and fruity. Traditionally served slightly chilled, Lambrusco wines are known for their lively acidity, bright red fruit flavours, and subtle effervescence, making them particularly food-friendly, especially with the rich cuisine of their home region, like Parmigiano-Reggiano and prosciutto. In recent years, Lambrusco has experienced a resurgence in popularity, with modern producers crafting high-quality wines that showcase the grape’s potential beyond the sweet, mass-market versions that once dominated its reputation.
