Sagra dell’Uva e del Lambrusco Grasparossa

Castelvetro di Modena transforms into a kingdom of Lambrusco Grasparossa, the noble red wine that has made this corner of Emilia-Romagna famous throughout Italy. The Grape and Lambrusco Festival is an immersive experience that blends the medieval beauty of this charming town with the rich culinary and wine heritage of the region. Among the fantastically-shaped towers and vineyards surrounding the historic centre, visitors and wine enthusiasts are captivated by the aroma of grape must and the authentic flavours of Emilian tradition. Beyond tastings of the undisputed star – Lambrusco in all its nuances – the festival offers a rich calendar of events celebrating local culture and folklore. Renaissance costumed processions, flag-waving performances, and the fascinating sight of live grape pressing transport visitors back in time, creating a magical and authentic atmosphere. Wine and food stands serve the specialities that have made this region renowned: gnocco fritto (fried dough), cured meats, tigelle (traditional flatbreads), and cheeses that perfectly complement every sip of wine. An event designed for all generations, featuring live concerts, art exhibitions, interactive workshops, and dedicated children's areas. The Sagra dell'Uva e del Lambrusco Grasparossa embodies the festive and welcoming spirit of Emilia, where enological excellence and conviviality meet in an unforgettable celebration.
