  • Lambrusco di Grasparossa was initially documented by Agazzotti in 1867, noting its pronounced almond aroma.

  • Regarded by numerous Italians as the pinnacle of Lambrusco quality, Grasparossa stands out for its capacity to achieve peak ripeness even in cooler climates.

  • Unlike other Lambrusco varieties predominantly grown on the plains of Emilia, Grasparossa thrives primarily on hillsides.

The wine exhibits higher tannins compared to other Lambruscos, yet it doesn’t yield the darkest hue among its counterparts.

Lambrusco Grasparossa boasts a remarkably deep purple-ruby color, notably darker than the medium-pale red tones found in wines crafted from Lambrusco di Sorbara.

Grasparossa delivers fuller-bodied wines with a creamy texture, abundant with ripe black cherry and dark plum notes, albeit presenting fewer aromatic complexities compared to its relatives.
