Cleto Chiarli's "Del Fondatore" Lambrusco is a label that reveals the extraordinary potential of a grape variety that is too often underestimated or oversimplified. The wine is produced with the finest clusters from the Sozzigalli Estate, located on rather rich, deep, and loamy soils. After the classic red vinification, bottle refermentation on the lees takes place. In the glass, it has a bright and brilliant light ruby red colour with a soft, intense pink foam. On the nose, it expresses scents of violet, rose petals, aromas of small wild berries, and fresh hints of blood orange. The palate is smooth, crisp, and savoury, with a dry finish of great freshness. It is recommended to pour the wine gently not to disturb the yeast sediment at the bottom of the bottle.
