Cantina Settecani

Lambrusco Grasparossa specialist in Emilia-Romagna's sparkling red heartland.

Cantina Settecani operates in Emilia-Romagna, the northeastern Italian region celebrated for its sparkling red wines. The winery focuses on Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro, a denomination that yields wines of structure and freshness. The Vini del Re Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro Secco stands as the winery's highest-rated expression, a dry rendition of the varietal that demonstrates the grape's capacity for complexity. A second dry Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro and the 7 Bio variant—produced under organic protocols—round out the core portfolio. Wine Enthusiast has assessed the winery's output. The Lambrusco category itself has undergone considerable recalibration in recent decades, moving beyond its reputation for sweetness toward dry, food-friendly expressions with natural effervescence and mineral precision. Cantina Settecani's releases reflect this evolution, offering the region's characteristic brightness and slight carbonation alongside the tannin structure that Grasparossa, the most serious of Lambrusco's subvarieties, can achieve.
