Lambrusco is one of the oldest wines in the world. Already 2000 years ago, the Latin poet Virgil, a native of Mantua, mentioned the existence of vitis labrusca; Pliny the Elder, on the other hand, described it as “vitis vinifera whose leaves turn blood red before falling.”

It was the Romans who even found a way to make it sparkling: they obtained the wine through a refermentation in amphorae which, once filled and well sealed, were buried underground or partially immersed in icy water, thus maintaining a low temperature; for the sparkling version, they ensured that the temperatures were higher, which promoted effervescence.

So remember: a glass of Lambrusco is a glass of history!
