The Chiarli estates, which comprise over 100 hectares of vineyards, are on the undulating alluvial deposits typical of the Padana plain. The Tenuta Cialdini is named after General Enrico Cialdini, a famous Italian patriot of the Risorgimento. It lies at the foot of the hills, in the Castelvetro municipality.The estate, together with Grasparossa also comprises 7 hectares of Pignoletto vineyards, key to the production of this white. The vineyards are grown on an alluvial origin soil, loose and fresh, with important amount of silt and sand over clay. The altitude is almost 80 meter above s.l.

The grapes were harvested both by hand and machine, then immediately crushed and destemmed. Only the freshest must was selected, clarified and cold-stabilized immediately after harvest. Maceration lasted a few hours at controlled temperatures. The first and only fermentation occurred at controlled temperatures and with selected yeasts in stainless steel Charmat tanks.

Lambrusco’s history is closely linked to the Chiarli family. In 1860 Cleto Chiarli founded Emilia-Romagna’s first wine-producing company, following the success of the homemade Lambrusco he served at his Modena restaurant ‘Osteria dell’Artigliere’. In 2001 Mauro and Anselmo Chiarli, Cleto’s great-grandsons and current company owners, decided to build a new winery under the founder’s name, Cleto Chiarli.
