The Lambrusco Reggiano ‘Quercioli’ by Medici Ermete is a Lambrusco with a dry and lively taste, highly gastronomic. It is a blend of Lambrusco Salamino and Lambrusco Marani, both varieties widely grown in the Reggiano area. In particular, Lambrusco Marani is characterized by its high acidity and remarkable color intensity of the wines it produces, while wines made from Lambrusco Salamino tend to be quite full-bodied and structured, also rich in color. With the Lambrusco Reggiano ‘Quercioli’, the Medici Ermete estate aims to offer the perfect synthesis between these two grape varieties belonging to the vast family of Lambrusco, with a product that is 100% Reggiano.
