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>\nThe 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
<\/noscript>Both wines had fairly high acidity which is needed to cut through the fatty pork (prosciutto anyone) and rich parmesan for which the Emilia-Romagna region is known. That acidity makes Lambrusco a wonderful food wine. The wines are also lower alcohol which also contributes to their food friendliness. And better yet, the wines typically come at quite a bargain. Now get thee some prosciutto and Parmigiano-Reggiano and a bottle of Lambrusco. You\u2019re welcome!<\/p>\nFor one of my favorite Lambrusco pairings, click here<\/a>.
