Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC is probably the best-known wine of the semi-sparkling Lambrusco type. The wine is made of Lambrusco di Sorbara grapes (60-100%) and Lambrusco Salamino grapes (0-40%).
The wine is grown in an area north of Modena, including the village of Sorbara.
Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC is ruby red to pink, the scent is inviting, with notes of violets, and the taste ranges from dry to slightly sweetish and sweet, which makes the wine a good accompaniment of heavy local dishes, such as pasta or pork.
The dry type may be enjoyed throughout the meal and the sweet types are best served with dessert or simply among good friends. However, the wine should be drunk within a year.
A sparkling Lambrusco di Sorbara Spumante DOC is also produced in the above-mentioned types.
