Varietal: Lambrusco
The Lambrusco grape varietal is widely enjoyed by wine makers and drinkers alike around the world, and it is one varietal which has an impressive and very long history. Archaeological evidence suggests it was being grown and cultivated long before the Romans, and has been an important grape for the identity and culture of the people who live in its indigenous Emilia region ever since. The grapes themselves are most commonly used for the famous sparkling wine which bears its name, and Lambrusco is renowned for holding slightly sweet, strawberry flavors which make it a favorite for many due to its light body, elegance and easy drinkability. It is also used to make dry wines, which have a slightly bitter after taste, and is a grape with many variants – as many as sixty, making it an interesting and unique varietal with many sought after attributes.
Region: Emilia-Romagna
Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy has been considered one of Europe's most important and characterful wine regions for an astonishingly long time. Indeed, for over two and half thousand years, vines of exceedingly high quality have been cultivated in Emilia-Romagna, with many of the region's wines being adored by the Romans, who helped the region grow prosperous as a result of its viticultural excellence. Today, Emilia-Romagna has over fifty five thousand hectares under vine, and no less than twenty-two DOC's producing stunning wines, containing all of the unique flavors and attributes associated with the region. By far the most famous wines of Emilia-Romagna are the sparkling Lambrusco wines, however, the region is widely recognized as being home to many of Italy's finest still red and white wines, too.
Country: Italy
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
