Lambrusco di Grasparossa
Let's travel together to Emilia-Romagna and get to know perhaps the most distinctive Lambrusco family: Lambrusco di Grasparossa. Imagine yourself sitting on a terrace overlooking the hills around Castelvetro – the very place where this grape variety originates. What makes it special? Of all Lambrusco varieties, it is considered the most aromatic and robust. In the glass, it displays an intense purple-red color and a lively perlage that simply puts you in a good mood. Typical of these are aromas of juicy blackberries, ripe cherries and a hint of violets. On the palate, it has more structure and finer tannins than its relatives, but always remains refreshing. Whether dry or with a slight residual sweetness – this wine is the perfect companion for a cozy evening with salami, pasta or simply on its own, when you fancy a taste of authentic Italy.

Lambrusco di Grasparossa – the most powerful Lambrusco from Modena
Two sparkling wines from Emilia-Romagna show just how multi-faceted Lambrusco can be – from 5.80 euros. Lambrusco di Grasparossa is the most tannin-rich and deeply colored variety of the Lambrusco family, pressed from the grape variety of the same name around Castelvetro, south of Modena.
Origin & Character
The Grasparossa vine grows on the hills south of Modena, where the soil is loamier and the summers are hotter than in the Po Valley – this gives the grapes more extract and color. In the glass, it shows a deep ruby red with a violet shimmer and a lively perlage. Typical aromas include blackberry, sour cherry, and violet, along with a light tannin structure that clearly distinguishes this Lambrusco from lighter variants. Depending on the vinification, the style ranges from semi-dry to dry – the dry Secco profile, as shown by the Gemma Rubia, for example, emphasizes the fruit without residual sweetness.
Pairs well with
- Tigelle, Gnocco fritto, and Salumi from Emilia – the classic local combination
- Pasta al ragù and lasagna, where the acidity balances the fat of the meat sauce
- Grilled sausages, pulled pork, or hearty grilled dishes
- Aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino stagionato
