Lambrusco is a lightly sparkling red wine from the Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy regions of northern Italy. It is produced from a group of native Lambrusco grape varieties, the most well-known being Lambrusco Grasparossa, Lambrusco Salamino, and Lambrusco di Sorbara. Lambrusco is characterized by its bright acidity, vibrant fruit, and refreshing effervescence.
Depending on the style, Lambrusco can range from dry (secco) to sweet (dolce), though many modern examples lean toward drier profiles. The wine is known for flavors of ripe red and dark fruits—such as cherry, blackberry, and raspberry—along with floral notes and a subtle touch of spice.
