2013 Lambrusco
2013 Lambrusco Lambrusco Background Lambrusco is actually a group of ancient Italian red grape varieties originating in Emilia-Romagna. Real lambrusco is a structured, acidic, dry and tannic sparkling wine but the wine was made infamous by cheap, sweeter versions that were popular in the 1970s and 80s. Chalmers Lambrusco is among the first of the real dry red Lambrusco wines, made from one of the legally official lambrusco varieties, to be produced in Australia. Lambrusco Winemaking Notes 100% hand picked Lambrusco Maestri grown on the Cambrian soils at the Heathcote vineyard, and made at Kilchurn winery. Lambrusco is usually made by charmat method but this wine is made by traditional method, giving extra finesse and great mousse. Fermented in an open fermenter then pressed off skins at 3 baume and finished in a stainless steel tank before a period in old oak barrels. The wine was tirage bottled in May 2013, then spent 9 months on yeast lees in bottle prior to being riddled and disgorged with a dosage of 7g/L sugar. Lambrusco Tasting Notes The 2013 Chalmers Lambrusco is intensely fragrant showing purple florals, tobacco, blackcurrant fruit and sweet spices of vanilla, cinnamon and clove. The palate shows bright fruit with savoury notes, refreshing acidity and a lasting tannic grip and fine persistent fizz. Lambrusco Food Matching Prosciutto and mozzarella piadina, Parmeggiano Reggiano or salumi plate. Lambrusco Cellaring Notes Drink now until 2017 GI: Heathcote Victoria “This pitch perfect example made from 100% Lambrusco Maestri is crunchy, crisp, cherried and chocolately, with a hint of clove and an edge of cocoa powder (a light touch of tannin) to its black cherry fruit.

The tale begins with Cleto Chiarli, the proprietor of the Modena restaurant Osteria dell'Artigliere in the mid-1800s. As was common for restaurateurs and innkeepers in those days, Chiarli made his own wine to sell at the osteria. Naturally, the wine was made from Lambrusco, the area's primary grape variety, and it was well received by customersso much so that in 1860 Chiarli was emboldened to found Emilia Romagna's first wine-producing company, the Cantina Cleto Chiarli. The company thrived, and eventually, under the Chiarli 1860 name, it became the Beatrice, Anselmo & Tommaso Chiarli largest privately-owned producer of Lambrusco. The Chiarli family was also instrumental in taking Lambrusco from being just one among innumerable Italian local wines to its status as a popular international phenomenon and one of the country's primary exports.

OUR REGIONS EMILIA-ROMAGNA FAST FACTS TOTAL AREA: GRAPE VARIETIES: Lambrusco, Sangiovese, Trebbiano, Ancellotta, Barbera, Croatina, Grechetto TOTAL WINE PRODUCTION: 5,457 hl APPELLATIONS: Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC, Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC, Modena DOC PRODUCERS CLETO CHIARLI OVERVIEW Emilia Romagna is well known as a foodie mecca. Several of Italy's most famous place-specific culinary traditions are from this region, including Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (named after the provinces of Parma and Reggio Emilia), Parma ham, and balsamic vinegar of Modena. The region's capital Bologna is a national shrine to the culinary arts as well as the home of one of the world's oldest universities. Emilia and Romagna are two historical areas that are conjoined in the modern region. Emilia is the larger of the two, including Bologna and the lands to the west. Romagna is the eastern coastal section, including the important cities of Ravenna and Rimini. Emilia Romagna is best known for its effervescent Lambrusco-based wines, and there are a few denominations that focus on these. The leading ones are a trio in the province of Modena in the center of Emilia Romagna. These denominations form a continuous area, with Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC surrounding the city of Modena, Lambrusco di Sorbara DOC just to the north, and Lambrusco Salamino di Santa Croce DOC farthest north, reaching almost to the Po River. These three zones are each the home of a different member of the Lambrusco family of grape varietiesnamely, Lambrusco Grasparossa, Lambrusco di Sorbara, and Lambrusco Salamino. More or less overlaying the trio is Modena DOC, a larger denomination that also produces mainly Lambrusco-based wines..
