| History |
The Lambrusco Marani vine, like the other Lambruschi cultivated in Emilia, comes from wild vinegar vines, found in antiquity throughout Italy. The Latin called "Lambrusca vitis" a whole series of wild vineyards that gave small and rough acini and were not generally used for vinification. Only around 1825, thanks to Acerbi, it began to make a distinction between vineyards derived from wild vines, and was on this occasion that for the first time was mentioned the name Marani. |
