Cleto Chiarli Premium Vecchia Modena Lambrusco di Sorbara NV
Modena, Emilia-Romagna, ItalyYou think you know Lambrusco? And you haven't tried this? Think again. The family-owned Cleto Chiarli company is a pioneer in Lambrusco, making wine here for more than 150 years. Today the family owns more than 250 acres of vineyards across the Modena province and sells about two million cases of Lambrusco annually. Despite this volume of production, the quality and attention to detail is impressive. This, Vecchia Modena “Premium” (a name that dates back to the 18th century) is from the grape lambrusco sorbara, one of many varieties of the lambrusco grape. A distinct orange-pink hue is due to 24 hours maceration. Pretty floral, light and tight, with rhubarb, fresh cranberry, subtle balsamic and pink grapefruit rind. Very fine lift of bubbles, fine and lively, with nimble acids. Sherbet / pink grapefruit and white pepper lingers on the snappy finish. Apero hour is complete.Tasted: 27 September 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
