How to Celebrate World Lambrusco Day
Here are some lively ways to join in the fun and enjoy World Lambrusco Day with flavor, connection, and a touch of sparkle:
Try a New Style
Lambrusco isn’t just one kind of wine. Choose a bottle you haven’t tasted before. Some are dry and full-bodied, others are sweet and light.
Look for varieties like Grasparossa or Salamino. Each one brings its own twist. Explore a different label and see how flavors shift across regions.
Host a Mini Tasting
Set up a small gathering with a few friends. Pour different Lambrusco bottles side by side. Offer simple snacks like cured meats, salty chips, or mild cheese.
Keep things casual and fun. Compare notes on color, aroma, and bubbles. Everyone leaves with a new favorite.
Pair It With Dinner
Skip the usual wine choice and serve Lambrusco with your evening meal. It pairs well with pizza, pasta, or even grilled sausages.
The fizz cuts through rich foods. Bold flavors meet balanced sweetness in a way that surprises. Try it and see how the meal changes.

History of World Lambrusco Day
World Lambrusco Day began in 2011. The Consorzio Tutela Lambrusco, a group of producers from Emilia-Romagna, created it.
They wanted to promote the quality and variety of Lambrusco wines across the world. The day gives this fizzy red wine a spotlight beyond its home region.
The first major celebration happened in 2023 in Paris. Guests gathered at the Eiffel Tower to try different Lambrusco styles. Experts, journalists, and wine lovers joined the tasting.
The event focused on showing how versatile and enjoyable Lambrusco can be. It was also a chance to connect with new audiences in a fun, social setting.
Claudio Biondi, president of the consortium, helped lead the event. He highlighted how the wine works with many kinds of food and how its image is growing.
Since then, each celebration has aimed to reach more people, with future events planned in other big cities like New York.
World Lambrusco Day continues to spread knowledge and excitement about this sparkling red. It invites wine fans to explore something bold, refreshing, and proudly rooted in Italian tradition.
Through tastings, online campaigns, and global events, the day keeps building momentum for a wine that’s full of life.
