Lambrusco!

Although I stay clear of the cheap and sweet versions of Lambrusco, there’s something awesome about a quality one. It’s a fun and flavorful wine to bring to a gathering, chilled and ready to serve. This one is dry, acidic, and contains a multitude of flavors, especially in the red fruit category. Think berries… Not sweet, just fun!

Some notes from Cleto Chiarli:
”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. Reintroduced in 2002 at a brand-new Cleto Chiarli winery, 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.”
