Paltrinieri Lambrusco di Sorbara Sant' Agata 2024

Lambrusco is the best known Italian wine in the world. It became famous in the 1970s when Gavioli, one of the oldest Italian wineries, realised that this sparkling wine might be well received in the U.S., where people were used to soft and fizzy drinks (like Coca-Cola). Since then, hundreds of companies have started making it, with some intruders making industrial, cheap and poor quality drinks far away from the northwest Italian region where this wine is made. In the face of this avalanche of dubious quality substitutes, there are several Denominazione di origine controllata (D.O.C) to guarantee their origin: one of them is the D.O.C. Lambrusco Mantovano, in Lombardy and the rest of them are the D.O.C. Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro, D.O.C.Lambrusco di Modena, D.O.C.Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce and the D.O.C.Lambrusco di Sorbara, in the Emilia-Romagna region. The latter is home to the Paltrinieri winery, who produce the sparkling Paltrinieri Lambrusco di Sorbara Sant'Ag
