Lambrusco di Sorbara

Wine · PDO · 12 municipalities

Recognized since 1973, the Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC is an Emilia-Romagna wine category with strict production standards. Unlike neighboring reds, this DOC enforces a strict legal cap on color intensity; if a wine exceeds this limit, it is stripped of its designation and reclassified as IGT Emilia. Production is tethered to the land, requiring vinification and bottling to take place entirely within the province of Modena, including municipalities such as Bastiglia and Bomporto. Standardized with a minimum of 60% Lambrusco di Sorbara grapes and a maximum yield of 18.0 tonnes per hectare, the appellation uniquely allows fermentation to continue past December 31, extending until June 30.
