Emilia Romagna At a Glance
Region NameEmilia Romagna
Emilia-Romagna is a rich, fertile region of northern Italy and one of its most prolific wine regions. It spans almost the entire width of the northern Italian peninsula, sandwiched between Tuscany to the south, Lombardy and Veneto to the north, and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Nine miles of Liguria is all that separates Emilia-Romagna from the Ligurian Sea.

Score: 89Vintage 2018Vinous MediaRipe blackberries, plums, sweet pipe tobacco and hints of camphor rise up from the 2018 Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro Cantolibero. It’s soft-textured, yet it quickly finds contrast through a saturating mix of tart black fruits and minerals. A buzz of nervous acidity resonates, forcing the mouth to water as hints of licorice and red currants slowly fade.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
