The World's #1 Lambrusco
Our story starts in the 1950s in the lush, poppy-covered region of Emilia-Romagna where nine wine producers joined forces to launch the Cantina Cooperative Riunite. Today, Riunite is still owned by 1450 families of vine growers, all passionate about the quality and journey of our products.
All our wines, and especially our Lambrusco are renowned for being light, refreshing, and fizzy. With the perfect amount of acidity and fruitiness, Riunite Lambrusco is not just a crowd-pleaser around the world, but it’s also America’s #1 selling Italian wine.
On Ice... STILl Nice!
Riunite enchants and delights Americans by bringing friends and families together and livening up occasions, big or small. Enjoying a glass of delicious, smooth, refreshing Riunite allows people to unwind in casual situations and reconnect with loved ones.
While Riunite continues to be an approachable, everyday wine, we are also fervently committed to the environment. We are constantly undertaking efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, use renewable energy, and promote sustainability to preserve our planet.
The Spirit Of Emilia
The spirit of Emilia is an attitude, a sense of fellowship, the pleasure of gathering friends around a table. It is the taste that things acquire when they are experienced together. It is the satisfaction of achieving incredible goals thanks to everyone’s work.
It is the pride of living in a land that has seen the rise of large companies that with their brands have made “Made in Italy” great, from food to automobiles.
The Land
The territory of Emilia-Romagna is historically suited for the cultivation of vines and the production of ideal grapes for winemaking. A flourishing wine-growing economy rose along the Via Emilia, making national and international wine trade thrive since Roman times. It is in this land that Lambrusco was born and it is from here that the red bubbles of Emilia reach every corner of the world.
From Our Vineyards
The term “Lambrusco” in the Zingarelli Italian Language dictionary is defined as “fizzy Emilian wine of a bright red hue, achieved from the vine with the same name.” But we call all of them by name: Lambrusco di Sorbara, Lambrusco Marani, Lambrusco Grasparossa ,… A great “family of autochthonous vines” derived from the wild vines of the Po Valley.
Culture And Taste
Emilia is a special place: here the culture of farmers’ wine meets the liveliness of people from Central Italy. It is a territory with a strong inclination for flavors, with gastronomic specialties where taste has always been central to everyday life.
Wine has been appreciated for thousands of years, this is for sure. Not surprisingly, ancient Greeks and Romans dedicated a divinity to wine: Dionysus for the former, Bacchus, the “god of conviviality”, for the latter.
