Lambrusco Sorbara

Lambrusco Sorbara

The Lambrusco Sorbara grape is a distinctly Italian sort, principally cultivated in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. This variety is recognised as one of the distinct clones of the Lambrusco grape, particularly esteemed in the wine-making landscape. Fondly referred to as ‘the violet of wine’ owing to the bright, berry hues that its wine carries, it stands out aesthetically and flavour-wise.

A particular attribute of the Lambrusco Sorbara grape is its characteristically low yield. While this might initially seem like a disadvantage, it is this very trait that concentrates the grape's flavours, resulting in wines embodying depth and complexity. The resulting wine usually carries a light, frothy spritz, which together with its profound fruitiness, renders it exceptionally refreshing.

The wine crafted from the Lambrusco Sorbara grape can proudly hold its own with an alluring bouquet of floral notes and strawberries, refreshing acidity and a relatively dry finish. Its light to medium body and the delicate nuances of fruits such as raspberry and wild strawberries make this vino uproariously delicious.

This variety is often vinified alone to produce single-varietal wines but is also blended with other Lambrusco grapes to contribute vivacity and fragrance. Lambrusco Sorbara is marvellously food-friendly and pairs exceptionally well with a wide range of dishes. It can accompany everything from savoury hors d'oeuvres to rich desserts, owing to its instinctive balance of fruit and acidity.

Because of its characteristic freshness and palatability, Lambrusco Sorbara has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly as a summer wine. Its rose-like colour and inviting bubbles offer a charming initial allure, followed by a taste that leaves one captivated. Revel in a glass of Lambrusco Sorbara, and you'll be experiencing a unique, sparkling whoosh of Italian viticulture.
