Lambrusco is a delicious drink normally served in its homeland of Emila Romagna with antipasti, but it's also great on its own for those seeking a Prosecco alternative. This is a deeply coloured sparkling red wine, with strong berry fruit aromas and very pleasant bitterness to the fruit, which is then refreshed with bubbles and a hint of sweetness.
Only a few years ago Lambrusco was considered 'naff' but now the world is rediscovering this wine, and when it is made in the hands of artisans such as the Chiarli family, who have been making Lambrusco for 150 years, it is an absolute treat.
The Region
Emilia Romagna
Politically speaking, Emilia Romagna is one region, but viticulturally, these are two very separate zones. Emilia is more akin to a northern Italian region with its sparkling and often delicious, Lambrusco, hailing from the borders of the Italian plain, the Pianura. On the other hand you have Romagna which is much more akin to a Central Italian region with its hilltop vineyards planted to Sangiovese, being just the other side of the Apennines from Tuscany. Combined, these two very different zones form one of Italy's largest producing regions. Yet, aside from Lambrusco its wines are barely known, despite being the beating heart of Italy's gastronomy
