In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pale salmon blush with a persistent fizz. Bright strawberry and raspberry leap from the glass, underpinned by gentle creaminess that rounds the whole experience. Lively acidity stays sharp enough to refresh between sips, while 12g/L residual sugar softens without tipping toward saccharine. At 12% alcohol, this is light-footed and built for easy drinking rather than contemplation.

The Winery — Cleto Chiarli

Lambrusco's story in Emilia-Romagna is inseparable from the Chiarli name. In 1860, founder Cleto established the first winery after his homemade expressions won acclaim at his Modena restaurant. Today, his great-grandsons manage over 100 hectares of vineyards across the Padana plain's alluvial soils. This particular rosé employs the Charmat tank method—the house standard for preserving fresh primary aromatics—fermented at controlled temperatures with selected yeasts. The result is an honest, well-made expression of its place and grape.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Food pairing is effortless. Bring it to the charcuterie board—cured ham, spicy salami, creamy cheese—and watch it cut through salt and fat while amplifying the fruit. Lighter seafood, ricotta-based pasta, even cold fried chicken all work beautifully. The Rosé de Noir belongs in your sparkling wine rotation alongside other Italy selections, whether you're hosting Sunday lunch, marking a celebration, or simply reaching for something refreshing on a weeknight. Vegetarian and vegan friendly. Chill to 8–10°C.
