Lambrusco

Photo coming soon
Lambrusco isn't one grape but a whole family of over a dozen native varieties, and archaeobotanists have traced wild Lambrusco vines growing around Emilia's Roman-era settlements, making it one of Italy's oldest continuously cultivated grapes.
Lambrusco is a lightly fizzy, deep-red or rosé wine, usually dry to semi-sweet, served chilled in tumblers rather than stemmed glasses. Its bright acidity and gentle bubbles are built to cut through Emilia-Romagna's richest food, from tortellini in broth to cured salumi.
Why it's made this way: It's the everyday table wine of Modena, Reggio Emilia, and Parma, grown on the plains of Emilia-Romagna for over two thousand years and still poured at nearly every family meal in the region.
