Cleto Chiarli “Vecchia Modena” Lambrusco Di Sorbara Secco 2024

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

The bouquet of the 2024 Vecchia Modena Premium is defined by dusty rose and crushed blackberries. It floods the palate with masses of finely etched bubbles and tart red and blue fruits. A subtle tinge of clove beneath violet inner florals lingers, finishing with lovely length and balance. – 91 PTS, ERIC GUIDO, VINOUS MEDIA (12/2025)

DISTRIBUTOR NOTES:

OVERVIEW: This dry Lambrusco is made from premium grapes selected in the vines of Azienda Agricola Chiarli of Sozzigalli (Sorbara), located in the fertile soils of northern Modena. Lambrusco di Sorbara is regarded as one of the highest quality clone due to its intensified aromatics. Wine is produced in accordance with the highest standards of quality that Cleto Chiarli designed more than 140 years ago. It is made by a light maceration followed by racking into tank for primary fermentation and then a slow secondary fermentation in closed tanks.

TASTING: Aromatically the wine is bright, racy, and a touch salty with notes of dehydrated strawberries and fresh herbs. On the palate the bubbles are very fine, with mouthwatering acidity, and just barely ripened red fruit flavors.
