The name (also Lambrusca) means "wild vine". 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. It is therefore not a single grape variety or a family of grape varieties, but the term is used in countless grape variety names and synonyms. The many varieties are mostly unrelated (the same phenomenon also applies to the name groups Malvasia, Muscat, Trebbiano and Vernaccia).
