The article highlights the Sagra dell'Uva in Castelvetro di Modena, celebrating the harvest and revival of Lambrusco wine. Historically, Lambrusco suffered from a poor reputation due to overly sweet exports. However, recent efforts by winemakers and endorsements from celebrities like Cameron Diaz are helping to promote drier, more authentic versions of Lambrusco. The spirited festival atmosphere showcases both traditional celebration and the evolving wine culture, as visitors enjoy the vibrant community and quality Lambrusco.
"But the world is waking up to the real thing. Lambrusco now appears on restaurant and wine-bar menus from London to Los Angeles, and it has some big-name evangelists."
"In Castelvetro that night, the lines for the bars snaked through the throng of dancers in the main square. A DJ blasted tunes from the steps of the village hall."
