Lambrusco di Sorbara is a distinguished red grape variety predominantly cultivated in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy, particularly around the provinces of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Renowned for producing some of the most elegant and refined Lambrusco wines, it exhibits a lively aromatic profile characterized by notes of wild strawberries, raspberries, violets, and subtle citrus undertones. On the palate, wines made from Lambrusco di Sorbara are typically light-bodied, with a vibrant acidity, delicate tannins, and a refreshing, persistent effervescence that enhances their drinkability.
The primary wine style is a dry or slightly off-dry sparkling red (frizzante), though rosé versions are also crafted. These wines are appreciated for their crispness, bright fruit character, and moderate alcohol, making them highly versatile at the table. Lambrusco di Sorbara pairs exceptionally well with regional specialties such as prosciutto di Parma, mortadella, and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. Its acidity and fine bubbles also complement a variety of dishes, from rich pasta in tomato-based sauces to roasted vegetables and light appetizers, making it a favored choice for modern, food-friendly wine selections.
