Lambrusco grapes were cultivated by the Etruscans around 700 BC. Fast-forward 2700 years, and lambrusco grapes have found legitimacy again! These days there are several celebrated Italian winemakers making terrific wine from the six varieties of lambrusco grapes at several wineries within Emilia Romagna.

Olive Oil Jones brought this vinegar to NYC in 2010 and has been devoted to it and championing its salad altering propensity ever since. They usually make Lambrusco vinaigrette by combining any one of their favorite olive oils and this vinegar at a ratio of about 3 to 1 along with a teaspoon of dijon mustard, and a smashed clove of garlic. (Whisk, drizzling oil in after other ingredients, or if you have an empty jar, shake it!) Or we just have it on the table, in a cruet alongside another cruet of olive oil.  Perfect for salads of all kinds.
