AboutCleto Chiarli
The Chiarli family’s wine story began in Modena in 1860, with Cleto serving the Lambrusco from his own cellar at the Trattoria dell’Artigliere. The wine’s success grew into a company that remains in Chiarli family hands after five generations.
In 2000, the family began the Cleto Chiarli project at Tenuta Cialdini, opening its new cellar in 2002. More than 100 hectares are divided among three Modena-area estates, with Cialdini centred on Grasparossa and Sozzigalli on Sorbara.
Cleto Chiarli Vigneto Cialdini Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro
Italian Sparkling
$32.99
Deeply coloured and briskly sparkling, this dry Lambrusco combines ripe blackberry and raspberry with a vinous edge. The palate is rounded yet structured, carrying fine froth, fresh acidity and a clean, persistent finish. Made from Lambrusco Grasparossa grown at the Cialdini estate near Castelvetro, it suits pasta with meat sauce, charcuterie, fresh cheeses, pizza and other traditional dishes from Emilia.

Italian Sparkling
$39.99
Deep pink with a fine, lively mousse. Strawberry, raspberry and tart cherry lead, followed by mandarin and a subtle woodland note. The palate is dry and penetrating, its brisk acidity and mineral line balanced by a smooth, velvety texture. Red fruit stays vivid through the finish, which is clean, savoury and quietly persistent.
