Cantina Settecani Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro “Tradizione” Secco NV

Sale Price: $25.00 Original Price: $26.90

Founded in 1923, Cantina Settecani is a cooperative winery in the heart of the Castelvetro hills, bringing together over 200 growers. With deep roots in the Modenese countryside, Settecani has earned a reputation for crafting expressive, affordable Lambrusco wines that celebrate the diversity of local terroir. Their focus is primarily on Grasparossa di Castelvetro, the most structured and tannic of Lambrusco varieties.

The Tradizione Secco bottling is a classic expression: bold, dark purple with a creamy mousse, showcasing black cherry, ripe plum, and a hint of spice. Lambrusco Grasparossa delivers body and depth without sacrificing freshness. A perfect companion to Emilia’s rich cuisine.

The name Settecani translates to “Seven Dogs,” but the origin is pure local folklore. Legend has it that a priest, spotting seven inebriated men stumbling out of a tavern, jokingly declared: “They look like seven dogs!” (Sette cani!). The name stuck — first to the hamlet, then to the winery. Today, the coop remains proudly rooted in this community, producing deeply fruited wines like this one
