Varietal: Lambrusco
Lambrusco grapes have been cultivated in the Emilia region of Italy for thousands of years, and are one of the most ancient grape varietals on earth. In more recent decades, they have been grown successfully in both Australia and Argentina, where they are also used to make the recognizable, slightly sweet sparkling wines they are most commonly associated with. Lambrusco has six main varietals - Lambrusco Grasparossa, Lambrusco Maestri, Lambrusco Marani, Lambrusco Monterrico, Lambrusco Salamino and Lambrusco Sorbara. However, Lambrusco Salamino is by far the most commonly cultivated, as it is a hardy grape which results in high yields of consistent and reliable quality. Lambrusco is quite a versatile grape, and in Italy, is used to make several different wines. Often, winemakers limit the contact the juices have with the skins in order to make both white and rosé wines from this grape, all of which are highly popular around the world.
Region: Emilia-Romagna
The northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna has long been a much loved wine region, associated with many of the finest Italian wines drank across the world today. Interestingly, the region's fine reputation is nothing new, as it was considered an extremely important center for wine making and viticulture over two thousand years ago by the Romans, and also by those who came before them. Today, the mineral rich soils and warm climate of the region provide excellent conditions for cultivating vines of exceedingly high quality, and a wide range of grape varietals are grown on Emilia-Romagna's fifty five thousand hectares under vine. By far the most prominent in the region are Lambrusco varietal grapes, used to make the region's flagship sparkling wines, and Malvasia.
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.
