Native to Emilia-Romagna, home of the gastronomic holy trinity: aceto balsamicoa, Parmigiano Reggiano and prosciutto di Parma, Lambrusco is the once obscure, later bastardized and now rebounded fizzy wine of the region. An agritourism stop, Corte Manzini's offering is from the smallest growing area, Graspararossa di Catelvetro, just south of Modena, with Lambrusco Grasparossa as the solo grape variety.
