Cant’ just say Lambrusco
Lambrusco is by far the most common grape family in the whole Emilia plain. Today we will focus on Lambrusco di Sorbara, fruity, floral, with high acidity and medium structure.
Ci soffermiamo sul Lambrusco di Sorbara, un vitigno particolare in quanto ha fiori fisiologicamente femminili e polline sterile per cui è necessario prevedere nella base ampelografia dei vigneti altri vitigni Lambrusco per consentirne l’impollinazione e la fruttificazione. Leggendo il disciplinare, infatti, si scopre che per la base ampelografica si parla di vigneti composti per almeno il 60% della superficie vitata totale di Lambrusco di Sorbara, poi dal 25% al 40% Lambrusco Salamino e altri lambruschi tradizionalmente coltivati nella zona fino ad un massimo del 15%. Ci troviamo nella media pianura della provincia modenese dove prevalgono i suoli limoso-argillosi.
The wineries we chose are among the most classic ones: Cavicchioli and Cleto Chiarli.
About Cavicchioli it can be said it makes great numbers, which are certainly not an offense but a clear entrepreneurial vision with historical roots in the territory, but never that these numbers are not combined with a remarkable quality, bordering on excellence in some top wines, the flagship of the winery. Cavicchioli's history is almost centenarian: its range is variegated and all the types of classic Modenese vines are represented.
As far as Cleto Chiarli is concerned, it is the brand that identifies the agricultural estates of Chiarli 1860. Rarely it is possible to combine important quantities such as the ones produced by Chiarli family with such remarkable average quality and excellent tips of their main wines. To a modernity necessary to create a critical mass so large, corresponds a surprising link to an ancient tradition, where flavors are extraordinarily consistent with a territory vocated like few to the pleasure of the table.
