Lambrusco is an Italian sparkling wine available in a wide range of sweetness levels, from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, meaning some varieties can indeed be very low in sugar. Its sugar content depends entirely on the label, and understanding these Italian terms is key to selecting the right bottle.

While cheap, sweet versions of Lambrusco soared in popularity in the US during the 1970s and 1980s, the perception that all Lambrusco is full of sugar is a major misconception. Today, this Italian sparkling red is produced in a wide variety of styles, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet.
