Lambrusco is a family of grape varieties originating from Italy, specifically from the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy. This type of grape is used to produce sparkling red wine, which varies in sweetness levels from dry (secco) to sweet (dulce).
Lambrusco wines are notably fruity and light-bodied, often characterized by strawberry and cherry notes, along with some floral aromas. They're often known for their high acidity and slight bitterness, sometimes also showing a hint of earthiness.
Some types of Lambruscos you might come across are Lambrusco Grasparossa, Lambrusco Salamino, and Lambrusco Sorbara, each producing wines with their own unique characteristics.
Traditionally, Lambrusco was often casually consumed with local cuisines such as charcuterie and cheese due to its low alcohol content. However, it has garnered broader appeal over time and is now widely enjoyed around the world.
