Chiarli Vecchia Modena Lambrusco di Sorbara (750ml)

The Vecchia Modena Premium Lambrusco di Sorbara represents the history both of the Chiarli wine Company and of Lambrusco wine itself. The bottle and label are reproductions of an 1892 bottle the oldest existing bottle containing Lambrusco that is still treasured in the Chiarli archives today. Chiarli Vecchia Modena won the first international recognition by a Lambrusco wine at the World Expo in Paris in 1900.  This wine was reintroduced in 2002 at the present day Cleto Chiarli winery. 

Lambrusco Sorbara grapes are lightly macerated for 18 to 24 hours, the juice is drawn off and fermented at a controlled temperature of 20° C.  The wine is made through a single fermentation under pressure, rather than the normal two-fermentation process of almost all other sparkling wines. This is in the brut range, with minimal detectable sweetness.  8 g/RS.
