After my tasty wine \u201cvisit\u201d to Sicily (read about it here<\/a>), my glass is still full of Italian Wine. But now, I\u2019m \u201cvisiting\u201d Emilia-Romagna and tasting oft reviled, yet misunderstood Lambrusco. If you haven\u2019t had any lately because you remember the sweet swill of long ago, I urge you to give it another try. I mean hey, if Emilia-Romagna can give us such tasty treats as Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, prosciutto di Parma, and Modena balsamic vinegar, surely we can give one of its best known wines another whirl.<\/p>\n

Lambrusco is both the name of the grape (actually a family of grapes) and wine from Emilia-Romagna and is generally made into a slightly sparkling, \u2018frizzante\u2019style. The best versions today are gloriously dry or off-dry and far removed from the sweet juice for which the wine became known in the 1970s. But don\u2019t go expecting big, bold, and complex when you drink Lambrusco. This is simple, fun wine that doesn\u2019t need to be studied and dissected to be enjoyed. It\u2019s just fruity deliciousness that offers up fresh, crisp acidity that is heaven with charcuterie and cheese. It\u2019s also heaven with a pool, beach, lake, you get the point. Just be sure you\u2019re drinking the freshest version possible as these wines are meant to be consumed young.<\/p>\n

I recently attended a Lambrusco tasting with Dr. Jeremy Parzen of Do Bianchi<\/a><\/span>, who is all about Italian wine and can pretty much tell you anything you want to know about Italy and its wines. While there are several different Lambrusco grapes used in the wines, we\u2019ll explore a couple of the more well-known and better quality ones.<\/p>\n

The Lambrusco di Sorbara is grown in sandy soils which are great for lighter styles of Lambrusco. In fact, this is the lightest and most floral of the Lambrusco grapes. It almost had the appearance of a dark Ros\u00e9. It was quite refreshing with just a hint of sweetness. I absolutely loved to fruity cherry nose on this one. And though I had mine with various Italian goodies, it one would also be nice with some spicy Cajun or Asian food.<\/p>\n

\"\"Another type of Lambrusco to try is the Lambrusco Salamino, so named because of the shape of the grape cluster which resembles the shape of salami. This clone of Lambrusco has thicker skin which results in a darker colored wine that\u2019s a little bolder (if such a thing exists in Lambrusco). While a bit more full-bodied with a tinge more tannin, as well as a deep purple color in the glass, it\u2019s still an easy drinker with the same vibrant fruit of the Sorbara.<\/p>\n
