Sweet Lambrusco loves fruity desserts.
Modena has more to offer than Ferrari, Lamborghini and Balsamico.
In the 70's Lambrusco was Italy's most exported wine.
It was cheap and often low in quality. Now this light and bubbly wine is on the rise again thanks to the focus on quality.
This sparkling red wine is super food friendly and comes from the "fat" Emilia Romagna Region, known for its delicacies such Prosciutto di Parma (Parma Ham), Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and Aceto Balsamico di Modena (balsamic vinegar).
Lambrusco is typically made with the Charmat technique where bubbles are created inside a sealed tank.
Lambrusco is both the name of the grape and the wine and ranges from bone dry to super sweet.
Bologna (the capital) and the other big cities, Parma, and Modena are known as the mecca of food.
In the wine world, Emilia Romagna is best known for Lambrusco.
