| Histoire |
The Lambruschi family is part of the Vitis Vinifera species and should not be confused with Vitis Lambrusca. This family comes from ancient wild vineyards of the Po Valley, and its name comes from the Romans pointing to wild spontaneous vines at the edges, called labrums of the cultivated fields called bruscum. Hence the name labrusca vitis, now Lambrusco, cultivated almost exclusively in Emilia. Vine has acquired this name for centuries, and now it is a whole widespread family, though its wines do not reach those qualities that are standard in many areas. However, there are several qualities among the Lambruschi, and Lambrusco di Sorbara represents the best of the family, exploited for some time and already quoted by Andrea Bacci, Pope Sisto V's doctor in the sixteenth century, in one of his works, De Naturali Vinorum History, one of the most important books on the wines of the old continent. The author describes the Lambruschi of Modena hills as spicy and fragrant. |
