Lambrusco Sorbara

It is a Lambrusco from Modena, and is located in the heart of the municipality of Sorbara, although it has been cultivated in the Reggio Emilia area since the 19th century. It is probably the Lambrusco that is closest to the wild vine among those cultivated today. It has pollination problems, which are resolved in the vineyard mostly by pairing it with Lambrusco Salamino vines. We notice this because of the not infrequent presence of green grapes even in the ripe bunch. There are also four different types identified by ampelographic characteristics that we will not go into. It is generally the first to ripen and in any case it never produces a wine that is full of color, if anything it moves towards rosé and cherry. The acidity is marked and the aromas of flowers and red fruit generally remain on fresh and non-invasive cadences. Dry, sometimes decidedly so, Sorbara is not normally full-bodied and the tannin is not aggressive.
