A name from Lambrusco country
Cantine Bema is rooted in the growing region around Modena, the historic center of Lambrusco. Here, between the gentle hills of Castelvetro and the Po Valley, that sparkling red wine that has made the region famous worldwide has been produced for generations. Its origin in the Modena area is directly reflected in the range: wines from the classic Lambrusco zones of Emilia-Romagna, including the protected designation of origin Grasparossa di Castelvetro.
Public sources on Cantine Bema are rare – the winery is deliberately reserved and lets the wines speak for themselves. What counts is the connection to the origin: From the plateau and the hills of Modena, more precisely from Castelvetro, Castelnuovo Rangone, Castelfranco Emilia, Fiorano, Formigine, Maranello, and other municipalities comes the Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro, the grape variety with which Cantine Bema is most closely associated.
Craftsmanship between tradition and culinary pleasure
In Modena, Lambrusco is much more than a drink – it belongs to the everyday culture of the region. In its four variations, it is considered a modern wine: with lively, fleeting foam, intense, lingering fragrance, and a rich taste emphasized by good acidity – the result of the skillful work of generations of winemakers. Cantine Bema operates in exactly this tradition: wines that belong to convivial meals, not to silent contemplation.
The production method remains true to the region of origin – vinified frizzante, with the stronger structure typical of Grasparossa compared to the more delicate Lambrusco types from Sorbara or Santa Croce. The result is wines with character that hold their own even with a simple plate of salumi or Parmigiano.
What is in the glass
At the center of the range is the Cherubino Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC – a dark, densely colored frizzante with fruit notes of cherry and wild berry as well as a harmonious acidity that keeps the wine sparkling and drinkable despite its residual sugar. Served at cool cellar temperature, it unfolds its foaming perlage and the strong, slightly tart finish that is typical of the Grasparossa grape.
The wine is recommended with hearty cuisine: grilled sausage, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, or a plate of tortellini in brodo. Those who want to get to know the Lambrusco world of Cantine Bema will find in this wine an uncomplicated, honest entry into a wine culture that places conviviality above prestige.
