Informations about "Lambrusco" in news+stories

The Roman author Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) already mentioned a Lambrusco variety and called it "Trecenaria" (three hundred) because it yielded 300 amphorae of wine per jugerum (equivalent to one acre). Many varieties selected and cultivated from wild vines were labelled Lambrusco.
