White Lambrusco? Yes, indeed: Fabio Lini, the enologist at Cantina Lini, makes this wonderfully light, bright Lambrusco by not allowing any contact with the skins of the grapes during fermentation. His Labrusca Bianco was inspired by the wines that local farmers made in Fabio's youth. Made from 100% Lambrusco Salamino (the top clone of the Lambrusco variety), this Lambrusco is fermented for up to three months in large vats. Fabio does not like to hurry fermentation. "Otherwise," he says, "I wouldn't be able to achieve the wonderful mouthfeel of this wine."
Labrusca Bianco "has a scent of red apples and white grapes," writes Ray Isle wine editor for
Food & Wine Magazine
, "and a racy zestiness that makes it an ideal aperitif wine." We couldn't agree more. We like to serve it with Prosciutto, cantalope wedges, and grissini.
"Labrusca" is the ancient name for Lambrusco. It comes from the Latin
labrum
meaning "edge": it is believed that Lambrusco grapes grew naturally along the edges of fields cultivated for other crops by the ancient people of Italy, the Etruscans.
