Cleto Chiarli is the oldest producer of Lambrusco in Emilia-Romagna. The winery was founded in 1860 by Cleto Chiarli, a restaurateur, who was already producing his own Lambrusco for customers of his restaurant. Chiarli owns seven estates, six located in the Modena and one in the Colli Bolognesi, located in Bologna. The vineyards extend throughout the fertile alluvial soils of the river Secchiaon on the plane north of Modena. Lambrusco refers to a family of similar varieties that primarily grow in Emilia-Romagna. There are several clones and sub varieties, the most common being Sobara and the red stemmed Grasparossa. Sorbara is prized for its lightness and elegance, while Grasparossa is fuller and more powerful. The wines are produced using the Charmat process where a second fermentation is conducted in pressurized stainless steel tanks. For over a century, the Chiarli name has been considered a benchmark for traditional quality Lambrusco. Technical notes The Sorbara clone of Lambrusco is generally regarded as the highest quality clone producing very aromatic wines.
Producer An ambitious purpose. One and a half century of wines, one family, millions of bottles produced, appreciation from all over the world, eagerness for a never-ending improvement. This is how ‘Cleto Chiarli’ was born. It is more than only a winery; it is a world where to produce excellent wines, the ideal cradle where to get the best out of Lambrusco grapes. A modern structure, up-to-date technologies, a setting where you can almost breathe history and tradition. No hurry, nor production anxieties, only the wish to improve ourselves. This is how products such as ‘Vecchia Modena Premium’, ‘Fondatore’ and ‘Vigneto Cialdini’ were born, true oenological icons, so linked with their environment and tradition that just the name of Lambrusco cannot convey their true qualities, and is inadequate to express the uncomplicated mineral taste of Sorbara or the rich and fruity sensuousness of Grasparossa.
