There’s the Lambrusco that was made for export, and there is the Lambrusco that, historically, was mostly only found in its home region, Emilia-Romagna. Thanks to smaller wine shops and natural wine producers, Lambrusco’s reputation has come a long way. Currently, there are over 60 different Lambrusco grapes in Italy, but most wines produced in Emilia-Romagna are made from five varieties: Salamino, Grasparossa, Maestri, Marani, and Sorbara. Lambrusco is often referred to as one monolithic wine, but given the diversity of grapes and terroirs and subregions, real Lambrusco wines offer an intense variety of flavors and complexity.
A bottle for all occasions, 2022 Medici Ermete “Phermento” Metodo Ancestrale Lambrusco di Modena ($27). A bottle for all occasions. This rosé has vibrant aromas of wild strawberry, rosemary, and rose petals. The energizing acidity and crisp lime notes are fresh on the palate and leave you longing for a second glass.
