We introduce ourselves

Lambrusco wines have been an integral part of the Modenese landscape for centuries. They yield a wine that is generous and genuine, like the people who live in this area, with a unique natural feature: springtime refermentation. Although records of the Vitis labrusca (a wild vine) date back to Roman times, it was only in the 19th century that certain strains became predominant, assuming a specific character thanks to their natural qualities and to human effort and hard work. Eventually, three similar yet distinctive wines came to be codified.

In the province of Modena these are the Lambrusco di Sorbara, the Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro and Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce.They are all modern wines of outstanding characteristics: a sparkling and evanescent froth, an intense, lasting scent and a rich taste, enhanced by a good level of acidity that is balanced by the right amounts of sugars in the demisec and amabile versions. Refreshing and pleasant to drink, it adapts equally to the traditional foods of the region as well as many international dishes.

They are well-rounded wines and, served cool, are appropriate to many occasions as is proven by their success in Italy and throughout the world. In 1970, the Lambrusco di Sorbara, Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro and Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce all obtained the DOC label and, since then, the commitment and effort of producers and the Consortium have achieved further improvements in quality, while making sure that the traditions of excellence are maintained.
