Medici Ermete Reggiano Lambrusco Concerto Secco 2023
The Reggiano (formerly Lambrusco Reggiano) DOC was created in 1970 but has been revised on more than 10 occasions since then. One of the latter revisions expanded the DOC beyond sparkling red wines based on the Lambrusco variety. It now also covers dry red wines made predominantly from Ancellotta, plus sparkling white wines.
Reggiano is one of several DOC titles of central Emilia-Romagna which base their wines on the Lambrusco grape varieties. Others include Salamino di Santa Croce, Grasparossa di Castelvetra, di Sorbara and di Modena. The DOC's title comes from the Reggio Emilia province in which it is made.
This is the largest of the five Lambrusco-based regions, and is responsible for an impressive quantity of sparkling wines exported every year, mostly to the US and northern Europe. Classic Lambrusco, a mixture of the various Lambrusco grape varieties, is a sparkling red wine that varies in sweetness from off-dry to semi-sweet.
Reggiano is particularly known for its sweet amabile and dolce versions, which contain up to 15 percent partially fermented Ancellotta grapes (which give it its natural sweetness); the remaining 85 percent is made up of Maestri, Marani, Monstericco and Salamino Lambrusco in any combination.
