Cleto Chiarli Description
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.
Vinous: 89 Points
The 2023 Lambrusco di Sorbara Vecchia Modena Premium opens with a pleasantly understated mix of dried roses, wild strawberries and lavender. It's juicy and round, with penetrating acidity and crisp red and blue fruits that cascade throughout. This leaves a pleasantly bitter tinge and hints of spice, tapering off with a vivid resonance of sour cherry pits.
