Cleto Chiarli Description
CHIARLI 1860 is the oldest producer of Lambrusco and other wines in Emilia. The winery was founded in 1860 by Cleto Chiarli who, until that date, managed the "Trattoria dell'Artigliere" in the center of Modena and was already producing his own Lambrusco for the habitués of his restaurant. The great appreciation and admiration of his wines encouraged Cleto Chiarli to set up new premises for the production of Lambrusco in greater quantities to sell to a wider market. Thus was Cantina Chiarli established back in 1860. Chiarli has faithfully handed down from generation to generation the rigorous principles of seriousness, honesty and the greatest respect for quality, thus ensuring the appreciation and affection of an ever increasing clientele.
Over 145 years have passed since its foundation and the Chiarli name is, more than ever, a benchmark for traditional quality Lambrusco. Awarded Diploma on 18th August 1900 at the Paris Universal Exhibition Lambrusco, known even in Roman times, is a wine of ancient origins which thanks to its natural fizziness, is more suitable than ever before to the requisites of modern eating habits. Lambrusco comes in various types and, each being different, largely satisfy the various tastes of the consumer. Perfect food pairing with these wines? Salami and Mortadella. A treat not to be missed.
A semi-sweet wine of an intense red color. The wine has very fruity aromas and all the grape fragrances can be felt. Lively and fading bubbles are of a marked rose color. Its smoothness makes it surprisingly pleasant, though avoiding excesses. A captivating wine.
Paired well with traditional cuisine from Emilia, it is also a wonderful accompaniment to desserts.
James Suckling: 91 Points
Lots of rose petals and dark fruit with orange peel. Fruity and flavorful. Fine bubbles. Fresh finish. Delicious. Drink now. Served chilled.
Wine Spectator
A ripe and brambly beam of boysenberry puree is accented by aromatic notes of Mediterranean scrub, wild cherry and citrus peel in this creamy Lambrusco, with a juicy, spiced finish.
