WineFrog explains Lambrusco
Even though Lambrusco wine is considered to be sparkling red wine, it is usually not produced using the traditional champagne production method. The process of winemaking varies according to the region where the wine is produced. There are about five Lambrusco wine regions, each of which produces a slightly different sort of wine, varying in terms of dryness, color, sweetness and acidity.
Wines produced from the Lambrusco grapes are usually made using more than one type of Lambrusco. It is said that all over Italy, there are more than sixty different types of Lambrusco grapes. The most famous ones among these sixty grape varieties are Lambrusco Salamino and Lambrusco Grasparossa
