Cleto Chiarli "Organic" Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro

Notes

The Cleto Chiarli Organic Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro is an intensely colored and soulful sparkling red that showcases the bolder, more tannic side of the Lambrusco family. On the nose, it is deep and vinous, offering aromas of dark-skinned berries, black cherries, and violets underpinned by savory notes of star anise and a subtle earthiness. The palate is vibrant and fleshy, featuring a frothy mousse and a robust fruit core that is beautifully balanced by a crisp acidity and a dry, saline finish. Unlike the lighter Sorbara styles, this Grasparossa possesses a noticeable structural grip and a pleasant hint of bitter almond, making it a classic partner for rich Emilia-Romagna fare like salumi, lasagne, or aged Parmigiano-Reggiano.
