Creed, rather they are convinced, that the average consumer intends Lambrusco as a type of wine. Well, is not so! Lambrusco is actually a collection of different wines that grows in the hills of Modena-Reggio Emilia. A family of indigenous varieties of ancient origins, mentioned for the first time by Pliny the Elder as Vitis Lambrusca work "Naturalis Historia".

Over SorbaraThat said I quote some: Lambrusco Salamino, Lambrusco Maestri, Lambruscthe Barghi, Lambrusco Marani, Lambrusco Viadenese, Lambrusco and Olive ... Lambrusco Sorbara. A native vine tied to the land and the grapes from which it takes its name, which is characterized by freshness, the Acidito and minerality. Perfumes, colors and tastes that have surprised me. A good alternative to the usual suggestions.

Wednesday 29 October at the Ristorante Sadler Milan took an evening devoted to Lambrusco Sorbara of Cleto Chiarli. A farm in Modena, which extends, with various seals, on over 100 hectares of vineyards. One hundred and fifty years of history and five generations of producers engaged in the exploitation of the grape Sorbara.

While listening to Mark's Church evolution over time that has characterized this wine, I happily accepted the plates studied by CClaudio Sadler checklist of t, great interpreter of pairings of the evening. A superb dinner with excellent wine pairings. The dish that I liked more?  The risotto with mushroom powder trumpet and gold dust. Resounding! The wine? The Sorbara grapes Founder's Reserve, a classic Chiarli produced according to the traditional rules, bottle fermentation method with ancestral (ancient method).

I conclude with a written Veronelli  stretch of “Learn about wine” (Rizzoli-Hachette 1997) Source House Veronelli. Read describes as Lambrusco di Sorbara…

E 'un wine "umano». Precisely for this, perhaps, is the wine against which the highest are the betrayals.
So I have to wait for years and have thousands of tests for drinking and Ribère a glass that fully satisfies me.
