History

In ancient times, sugolo was prepared exclusively during the harvest period with only must and flour, recent recipes often also include the addition of additional sugar in addition to that of the grapes themselves. [1] [2] [3] [4] It can be enjoyed alone, or as an accompaniment to sbrisolona cake [1] or with the same wine used for its preparation such as Lambrusco del Reggiano, Lambrusco Mantovano or Malvasia dei Colli Piacentini. [2]

Sügol (in the Mantuan dialect) has acquired the status of denominazione comunale d'origine (De.CO) in 2021, by resolution of the comune (municipality) of Gonzaga. [5] This version of sugolo takes the name of crepada because it is cooked until the skin of the grapes cracks.
