| Histoire |
The Lambrusco Viadanese grape comes from the municipality of Viadana, in the mantovano. The vine is probably native to wild vines, resulting in the term Lambrusco from the Latin "Vitis Lambrusca" or wild. These grapes were also called "uzeline" or "oseline" for the fact that, growing on the edge of the forests, they were plundered by the birds that they wanted. The Lambrusco Viadanese vine is also known as "Groppello Ruberti", from the name of the enologist who decreed the best vine of the province. |
