Lambrusco galore

This is the picture of a series of Lambrusco sparkling wines from Chiarli at their stall in the wine fair this year. As you can see, these represent the 3 major DOCs from Lambrusco and each of these is a varietal using the subvariety of Lambrusco after which the DOC is named.I had previously blogged about Concerto from Ermite Medici, which is a top example of a dry Lambrusco. Here two out of the three are amabile, ie sweet. The Grasparossa is widely available in Hong Kong and I had tried a Sorbara which I bought in Chiang Mai in 2003, so the Salamino is the only DOC of the three I have not tried. There are other Lambrusco sub-varieties too; a Regglanno Rosso I got from Marks and Spencer also lists Uve Marani, which is basically Lambrusco Marani. There's plenty of interesting exploration available for anyone wanting to find out more about Lambrusco.
