Congratulations to CHIARLI with their ‘VECCHIA MODENA’ PIGNOLETTO Sparkling Brut which received a silver medal at The World’s Finest Glass of Bubbly awards 2017.

A panel of 36 top industry wine judges tasted all the entries for 2017 and were able to not only scores wines with medals, but also place them in to easy to understand categories such as First Date: “A perfect wine to accompany that first date, fruity and slightly off dry to enhance that special occasion. Nothing too complex and not necessarily a wine that needs to pair with exact foods.”

This white sparkling is obtained by the vines cultivated in the dedicated area of Cleto Chiarli vineyards located on the hills of Modena and Bologna in Emilia Romagna region, central Italy.

In the Cleto Chiarli winery where you can breathe history and tradition being CHIARLI the oldest family owned produrer of Pignoletto and other wines of the area , the grapes of ‘Vecchia Modena’ Pignoletto are gently pressed and kept at controlled temperature followed by a careful vinification and slow fermentation in ‘cuve closes’ at low temperature. The result is this fresh and lively white sparkling wine with a slightly aromatic velvety taste, ideal as an aperitif and for any occasion when you need a bit of sparkle.
