Cleto Chiarli 'Vecchia Modena' Lambrusco, Emilia Romagna, Italy (750ml)

Vintage: 2022
Description: About the Icons. Can we be blunt? Riunite Lambrusco is a very successful brand in the US, but it has probably done a lot of damage to the consumer perception of traditional Lambrusco from Italy. In reality, much Lambrusco - like this one - is quite dry, and it is produced in myriad variations from multiple clones of the Lambrusco variety. Producer Notes - "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."
