Friday Night Tasting Lineup
Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco Enrico Cialdini Secco
Nose has light floral / spicy hints. A Lambrusco Grasparossa, with more concentrated cassis flavor, raspberry / blackberry / brambly note. Black cherry. Acidity is more juicy than tart, making the mousse come off as creamier. 80 cases came to the US. Plum and smoky mineral come through a bit on the medium length finish. Fruity but dry. Light tannins. A great pairing with lasagna. All of these wines will pair with pizza. We will be able to taste this wine with you today and sell it to you when it is back in the shop in a week or two.
Our Price: 13.97

Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco di Sorbara Premium Vecchia Modena
Manual picking of the best grapes. Fresh ripe strawberry & raspberry nose, rhubarb, citrus zest. Dry, with the great blend of tangy acid and lightly bitter mineral. Citrus & herb palate - balanced & refreshing. Lighter in color. Enough acid to work as an aperitif with cheese & charcuterie, or pair with fatty white meats, or poached eggs. Lengthy & fine mousse. Sorbara is the lighter style of Lambrusco, Grasparossa in the heartier style. (60 sub-varietals).

Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco Pruno Nero
Soft pressing of the grapes followed by a long, cold maceration. Red, semi-sparkling, full-bodied, with a softer mousse. Fruity (fresh strawberries) & fresh but still coming through pretty dry & earthy (bitter mineral note) on the finish. Red fruit acidity (cranberries, raspberries, strawberries). Balanced and refreshing. Like all of the offerings from Cleto Chiarli, a great bargain for the level of quality on offer. Light tannins. Great with pastas, roasted meats, aged cheeses.

Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco GdC Centenario "Amabile"
"Slightly sweet" with deep ruby color, pink bubbles. Ripe black cherry, sweet flavors of red raspberries & wild strawberries also. Soft & delicate. Grasparossa acidity allows it to carry a more typical Lambrusco level of sweetness without seeming cloying. (30g / L?). Frizzante level of mousse, but lively. Strawberry, floral. Juicy, light tannins, good concentration. Only 8% alcohol. Charming.
