In the old days around Modena, the workers found refreshment in a light, pink, effervescent wine made from the runoff of grapes that were piled into carts for delivery to the winery. The Chiarli family pays homage to this old tradition with the Brut de Noir Rosé. Based on the Lambrusco Grasparossa grape variety, this wine gets its delightful pink hue from just a short period of skin contact, with 15% Pinot Nero. The Brut de Noir Rosé is a fully sparkling wine, produced in a single fermentation in an autoclavea piece of technology unavailable to those thirsty farmers of the past.
This is a very important label of the Chiarli winery: it has a pink almost red color ending to a very light purple color. It is well structured, rich of intense scents with remarkable strawberry and raspberry aromas. It is round, lively, intriguing and seducing. There is a soft pressing of the entire or raked off grapes, under temperature control and there are later added the selected yeasts. The re-fermentation takes place with the “cuve close” method at low temperature. The denomination is Rosè Spumante Brut produced by Grasparossa grapes at 100%. The proof is 12%.
