Lambrusco, the sparkling red wine emblematic of Emilia-Romagna, is much more than just a drink. It embodies the soul of Italy, with its light effervescence and fruity aromas that remind one of the sun-drenched hills of the region. This guide invites you to discover the secrets of this unique wine, from its history to its tasting subtleties.
Lambrusco is a traditional wine from the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy, with roots dating back to antiquity. The Etruscans and Romans were already fond of grape cultivation that would give rise to this sparkling wine. Long associated with a popular wine image, Lambrusco has managed to reinvent itself and today stands out for its diversity and varied expressions, ranging from the freshest to the most structured.
Lambrusco is not limited to a single style, but is available in several sub-varieties, each bringing its own touch of originality. Lambrusco Grasparossa is a powerful wine with spicy notes, while Salamino seduces with its lightness and red fruit aromas. Maestri, on the other hand, finds the perfect balance between freshness and tannic structure, while Marani presents delicate floral notes and fine effervescence.
Tasting Tip: To fully appreciate Lambrusco, serve it slightly chilled, between 8 and 10°C. This temperature helps preserve its effervescence while highlighting its fruity freshness. It is the ideal partner for pizza, tapas, or Italian charcuterie.
What is the best time to drink Lambrusco?
Lambrusco is ideal at any time of the day, but particularly appreciated during festive meals or aperitifs.
How to properly store Lambrusco?
Store your Lambrusco in a cool, dry place, away from light. Once opened, it should be enjoyed quickly to preserve its effervescence.
