WE SPEAK OF LAMBRUSCO

Americans in times not long ago, he was nicknamed "red champagne, champagne, red for his cheerfulness, acidic taste crisp, its flavor and its lightness; with the champagne, the Lambrusco wine has more of a point of convergence, but above all the bubbles.

That's what makes it unique and that has made it one of the most popular wines in the world, sparkling, lambrusco once followed seasonal cycles where the winter temperature range blocked the fermentation, which then resumed in spring; that process is favored today with the most modern winemaking techniques.

HISTORY

Proof that the "vitis labrusca" represented the first opportunityto come in contact with the wine experience of Italian populations comes from finds of seeds of Scots lives dating back to the bronze age, in the areas of current production, in Modena and Reggio Emilia.
