The wine

A premium dry Lambrusco di Sorbara honouring the house's founder, made by the traditional method from Modena's chalky clays. A more serious, structured take on the style.

Aromas of wild strawberry, redcurrant and rose. The palate is bone-dry and vivid, with fine bubbles, tangy red fruit and a long, savoury finish. Lambrusco at its most refined.

Superb with charcuterie, tortellini or aged Parmigiano. Serve well chilled.

The producer

Cleto Chiarli

View all Cleto Chiarli wines

Cleto Chiarli is the oldest Lambrusco house in Emilia-Romagna, founded in 1860 in the hills around Modena. For generations it has championed serious, dry Lambrusco, far removed from the sweet fizz of cliché. This is the sparkling wine of Italy's gastronomic heartland.

The estate works chiefly with the noble Lambrusco di Sorbara and Grasparossa grapes, grown on the alluvial plains and hills of Modena. Some cuvées are made by the traditional method, others by the tank, always with freshness in mind. A little Pignoletto adds a white sparkler to the range.

In the cellar, precision and low dosage give bright, dry, vividly fruity wines with a fine mousse. The reds are crisp and berryish, the rosé savoury, the white brisk and citrussy. All are built to cut through rich local food.

Cleto Chiarli offers Lambrusco as it should be, dry, sparkling and full of character. Fresh, frothy and food-friendly, these are the perfect foil for charcuterie, cheese and the cooking of Emilia.
