Curious about Lambrusco in the US, UK and Australia
 

What kind of Lambrusco does make it's way to your countries?
I know Riunite is selling much overseas, and Cavicchioli too, but my
question is: which other Lambrusco producer do send theyr bottles
there?
Speaking about producers from my county, have you ever seen bottles
from Medici Ermete, or Ca' de Medici, or Casali, Rinaldini,
Venturini - Baldini, Caprari?
Or what else?

I'm just curious about who sells wine overseas from my area, Reggio
Emilia, neighbouring Modena, Parma and Mantova.
Greetings

Go to www.wine-searcher.com and put in Lambrusco as the wine name and
select a country for the store location, such as the US. You will get a
NV and some vintage choices. You will find that there are several brands
of NV and a few brands of vintage Lambrusco for sale. Many you mentiond
are included. Prices are given. You can find basic, low-priced
Lambrusco neary anywhere in the US. The better ones can be much more
expensive than the basic ones and often are found in stores in large
cities that stock a large variety of better Italian wines. I probably
could find a basic Lambrusco within walking distance of my home. I might
have to drive 50 miles or order by mail to find a premium Lambrusco.
Many are unaware that there are premium Lambruscos that are much better
than the basic ones, but not everyone likes this style of wine even when
it is very well made.

The Lambrusco craze in the late 70s-80s forced out any decent lambrusco's
from the US market. I bought back some lambrusco as samples but given the
fact that they all would sell for more than Reunite or Cella it was a
non-starter. Good lambrusco is a delight. Many gustatory palaces in Emilia
Romagna make their own and they are delightful.

For people that doesn't know him, Vilco belongs to a sect very famous where
he lives: "The Knights of Lambrusco Crusade". See you soon my Lord.

And Riunite played a big role in all that. They produced some
lambrusco + fruit juice combos, too. Sigh.

It's hard to sell something at a certain price, if it was usually
sold as a replacement for Dr.Pepper :)
