WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of Cleto Chiarli Vigneto Cialdini Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro involves careful grape selection from their own vineyards. The wine is made primarily from Lambrusco Grasparossa grapes, with a portion of Malbo Gentile or other traditional subvarieties permitted. The frizzante (semi-sparkling) style is typically achieved through secondary fermentation in tanks, often utilizing the Charmat method. This process is designed to retain the wine's fresh fruit aromas and lively effervescence. Cleto Chiarli employs modern winery facilities while adhering to traditional winemaking principles, with a focus on sustainable and integrated pest control practices in their vineyard management.
