Every wine has subtle differences, so what color does a Lambrusco wine have?
Lambrusco wines range in color from deep purple to clear, and in aroma from a fresh Sorbara Lambrusco or Salamino to the rounded flavor of Castelvetro. These slight color variations also allow you to taste the various flavor experiences, ranging from absolute dryness (a popular and unique winemaking method) to sweetness with a hint of residual sugar.
The diversity of grape varieties creates a variety of wines, which one do you prefer the most?
The very dry Lambrusco wines go well with many fatty dishes, while the more complex Lambrusco wines inspire creativity with meats, such as roasts or stews. In addition, the taste and tannins of Lambrusco are a great help for all types of meals. For example, Lambrusco Sorbara can be paired with oysters or slightly fatty sashimi, while the interesting pairing of Lambrusco Grasparossa also offers great benefits for this type of meal.
In addition to the Lambrusco of Emilia Romagna, let’s also talk about the unique characteristics of the Lambrusco of Mantova in Lombardy, shall we?
In the Mantuan region of Lombardy, there is the Lambrusco grape variety, which usually ripens late and is rich in tannins, that’s also the reason of the intense colour and rich sense of structure which can bring to the wine.
If you were invited to a party, which Lambrusco wine would you bring?
Depending on what we’re having, I usually carry a box of 3 different bottles of Lambrusco. First, I choose a Sorbara Lambrusco as an aperitif; then, a Salamino Lambrusco to garnish the dish; and finally, the perfect finish with a Grasparossa Lambrusco, a wine with a little residual sugar, which complements the dishes and makes them more tasty with a pleasant aftertaste.
