Lambrusco Salamino
Synonym: Lambrusco di S. Croce.
Commonly mistaken for: none.
Origin: Italian variety, cultivated
in the Emilia Romagna region, around Modena province. It is one of the most
classic varieties of the large family of Italian Lambruscos. The name “salamino”
refers to the bunch form, in fact the bunch has a cylindrical form with a good
density of berries that resembles a small salami.
Agronomic and environmental
aspects:
It has a preference for deep soils, friable and fresh, however it can be
adapted to different types of soil with good results. It is suitable for
different training systems, in Italy quite wide training systems are typically
used, but good results can also be obtained with spur pruning and VSP. The
production is good and constant, but this variety is not very suitable for
mechanical harvesting due to bunch shape and to the difficulty of detachment
from pedicel.
Diseases, pests and disorders: It shows a good
resistance to the most important diseases; susceptible to ESCA.

Wine characteristics:
The wine is very rich in colour,
with an intense and characteristic fragrance, it is full bodied and lively. It
has good acidity, is not too rich in tannins and is quite alcoholic. It is
usually bottled when young after blending with other Lambrusco from Emilia in
order to obtain the classical Lambrusco style, almost dry and sparkling.
