Tasting Notes: Lambrusco di Sorbara is a lighter, brighter, rendition of the traditional Lambrusco typically known. Notes of fresh rose petal and tart cherry followed by a lively finish. The Vecchia Modena Premium Lambrusco di Sorbara represents the history both of the Chiarli wine Company and of Lambrusco wine itself. The bottle and label are reproductions of an 1892 bottle—the oldest existing bottle containing Lambrusco—that is still treasured in the Chiarli archives today. Chiarli Vecchia Modena won the first international recognition by a Lambrusco wine at the World Expo in Paris in 1900. Reintroduced in 2002 at a brand-new Cleto Chiarli winery, the wine is made through a single fermentation under pressure, rather than the normal two-fermentation process of almost all other sparkling wines. This is in the brut range, with minimal detectable sweetness.
Estate History: Founded in 1860, the Cleto Chiarli winery was the very first wine-producing company in the Emilia-Romagna region. For more than 150 years, the family has been producing a full-range of elegant wines, including their ever-popular Lambrusco typical of Emilia-Romagna.
