WINE MAKING PROCESS
Cleto Chiarli Lambrusco Vecchia Modena Premium is produced using an adaptation of the Charmat Method. This involves light maceration of the grapes followed by racking into pressurized tanks for primary fermentation. The secondary fermentation, which creates the wine's sparkle, also takes place in closed tanks. This technique is employed to preserve the fresh fruit aromas inherent in the Lambrusco grapes, aiming to deliver a taste profile reminiscent of freshly harvested fruit.
