What makes it special
One of Italy's great food regions is also one of its biggest wine producers. Emilia, around Modena and Parma, is Lambrusco country, while Romagna, toward the Adriatic, grows Sangiovese and Albana.
What makes it unique
Lambrusco is really a family of grapes, each with its own personality, from the pale, perfumed Sorbara to the dark, tannic Grasparossa. The best of it is dry, sparkling and built to cut through the richest food in Italy.
Why you should care
If your idea of Lambrusco is sweet and cheap, the dry versions from around Modena are one of the best value surprises in Italian wine. Next to a plate of salumi, almost nothing else makes as much sense.
