Lombardo Wine

An Italian wine house whose name points towards the grapes' home in southern Italy. Lombardo makes wine that doesn't try to be anything other than what it is: sun-ripened, fruity and easy to drink. This is the everyday Italian glass, not the grand statement for the dinner table.

    Cantine Lombardo was founded in 1881 by Giuseppe Lombardo Maltese, an enterprising shipbuilder who saw an opportunity to send his own wine out into the world on his own ships.

    Expert's Description

    Lombardo Marsala Fine I.P. Ambra Dry is a Fortified Wine from Sicily, Italy, with an alcohol content of 17%. The house is still run today by the Lombardo family, whose reputation grew as the founder's ships carried the wine to the whole world. Today the house produces around 1.6 million bottles a year, two-thirds of which are exported to over 60 countries. Fine I.P. indicates the basic Marsala category, while Ambra refers to the wine's amber colour, and Dry indicates that the wine is dry.

About Lombardo

Lombardo is an Italian wine house producing wines rooted in regional grape varieties and traditions. For anyone new to Italian wine, Lombardo is a good, low-risk starting point: approachable, fruity wines that don't require prior knowledge of appellations or vintages to enjoy. The wines are aimed mainly at the broad, price-conscious segment rather than the collector's market, and the appeal lies precisely in their everyday Italian character - a reminder that not all good Italian wine needs to cost a fortune or spend years in a cellar.

History & Background

The Lombardo name points to southern Italy, where families have grown grapes for generations on the sun-drenched slopes that define the region, and where winemaking was historically part of rural family life rather than an industrial business. Like many Italian house wines, Lombardo has its roots in a time when wine was made mainly for home consumption and local sale, before export markets opened up to everyday Italian wine in the 20th century. Today the house continues that line with wines made to be drunk young and without ceremony.

Production & Style

The wine is vinified using a mix of traditional and modern methods, aiming to highlight the grape's own character.

Signature Style

Fruity, Balanced, Approachable
The flavour is fruity and balanced, approachable across most palates.
