WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cleto Chiarli Centenario Amabile is produced using the Charmat method, a tank fermentation process designed to maintain the wine's effervescence and fresh fruit characteristics. The wine is not aged in oak, allowing the primary fruit flavors of the Lambrusco Grasparossa grapes to shine through. The grapes are sourced from vineyards situated at an elevation of 90 meters, with alluvial soil composed of coarse gravel covered with silt. This approach emphasizes preserving the natural vibrancy and fruit-forward nature of the wine.
