Lovely, fresh and lightly sparkling, this vibrant, delightful wine opens with heady violet and red berry scents. The refined, almost ethereal palate delivers crushed raspberry, strawberry, tangerine and ginger notes alongside tangy acidity.
Winemaker Notes
Deep rosé colour, with clear fragrances of strawberry and brushwood. Its taste is fresh, pervasive, mineral, and at the same time velvety and surprisingly pleasant. Dynamic.
Lambrusco has made a huge comeback in recent years, shedding its reputation for being an overly sweet, fizzy wine akin to sugary soda and stepping out as a complex category of delicious and delightful sparkling reds. Now, toss out everything you think you know about this new iteration of Lambrusco and meet Cleto Chiarli “Vecchia Modena.” This is no inky, deep red bubbly, it is Lambrusco di Sorbara, the lightest and most delicate style. The grape has thinner skin and produces wines that appear more rosé than red. Dehydrated raspberry and strawberry dominate the palate with tiny hints of violet, tart cherry, and mandarin orange. A beautifully dry sparkler for any occasion.
