Cleto Chiarli 2025 Lambrusco Del Fondatore, Emilia Romagna, Italy

Chiarli’s Lambruscos have been fixtures at The Wine Country for their high quality and relative value.  The modern estate itself is as old as our store, dating from 1995.  Made entirely of Sorbara grapes from 15 year old vines, it displays an intense, lively pink, with a natural haze from the yeasts in bottle.  A complex nose balancing pure fruit and notes of bread crust.  On the palate it is dry, vibrant and taut, with a cutting freshness and an ever-changing character.
