📜 Lambrusco di Sorbara
A pale, fresh sparkling Lambrusco from the plain north of Modena.
Lambrusco di Sorbara is a light, fresh sparkling wine from Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy. It is made on the plain north of Modena. It is a protected appellation. The grape has the same name, Lambrusco di Sorbara, and gives bright acidity and a lovely ruby-pink colour.
The wine can be red or rosé, dry or off-dry, and fully sparkling or lightly sparkling. Its aroma is floral, with notes of wild strawberry and red berries. The body is light and tannins low, so it is pleasant chilled. The second fermentation is done in closed tanks, and the bubbles are lively and fine.
Lambrusco di Sorbara is often served with local food: ham, charcuterie, pasta and Parmesan. A rich dish is balanced by the acidity and the bubbles. It is considered the most delicate of the Lambruscos. It belongs to Italian wine and the group of sparkling wines. It is drunk young, within a year or two of harvest.
