Lively, exuberant, versatile: Lambrusco from Emilia Romagna is much more than just a wine. It is the authentic expression of a territory that has made taste and hospitality its hallmark. Its unmistakable character comes from the Emilian soil, its farming culture, and its energy. It is a wine that tells an ancient story, whose origins date back to the Roman Empire, when it was already appreciated and consumed regularly.
The name Lambrusco derives from the Latin labrum, meaning "margin," and ruscum, meaning "wild," terms that refer to the uncultivated vines that grew spontaneously along the edges of fields. A rebellious and generous plant, over the centuries it has found its ideal habitat in the Po Valley and the hills of Modena, Reggio Emilia, and Parma. It is no coincidence that archaeological finds have been discovered in these lands that testify to the ancient presence of the Labrusca vine, from which the grapes used to produce this wine are still grown today.
Lambrusco dell'Emilia Romagna is a wine that knows how to adapt without losing its identity.

It is a convivial wine, created to be enjoyed in company, to make every table special, from Sunday lunches to more informal toasts. Its color, often an intense ruby red with violet reflections, is just the beginning: the aroma is that of ripe red fruit, cherries, blackberries, and raspberries, while the taste is full but never heavy, lively, and satisfying.
