KeeperCollection @KeeperColl Q fr #SommChat #Somm how have the last 3 vintages been in #Lambrusco 4 @ChiarliModena and how is 2017 thus far, Tommaso?

Chiarli Modena @ChiarliModena Replying to @KeeperColl #Grasparossa has given consistent vintages, while #Sorbara has proved to suffer the summer heat lately. 2017 freeze will affect us #SommChat

Chiarli Modena @ChiarliModena Replying to @KeeperColl difficult vintages are more about low quantities rather than affecting taste! born in this terroir #Lambrusco taste is consistent #SommChat

KeeperCollection @KeeperColl @ChiarliModena Tommaso, what are the most important factors of the #viticulture of #CletoChiarli #vineyards? #SommChat

Charles Comm PR @CharlesComm Q @ChiarliModena what is the most popular food pairing with #lambrusci? #SommChat @KeeperColl

Chiarli Modena @ChiarliModena Replying to @CharlesComm @KeeperColl Emilia food culture: cured meats (prosciutto etc) soft breads, ragu pasta dishes and mature cheeses. Fizz and acidity explain why! #SommChat

Rashmi Primlani @PrimlaniKitchen Replying to @CharlesComm @KeeperColl @ChiarliModena Lambrusci is plural of all Lambrusco clones. Sorbara is like a rose whereas marani and Maestro are full body so diff pairings. #SommChat

KeeperCollection @KeeperColl @ChiarliModena Tommaso can you describe the difference between the 2 sparkling fermentation methods used in #Lambrusco Why 2? #SommChat

Chiarli Modena @ChiarliModena Replying to @KeeperColl #Lambrusco from the 50s produced through Charmat pressurized autoclaves. Fresh, fruits, grape aromas make a top Lambrusco..... #SommChat

Chiarli Modena @ChiarliModena Replying to @KeeperColl the more fermentations the more you burn off these fresh characteristics! 2 fermentations require less fresh must, less difficulties #SommChat

Chiarli Modena @ChiarliModena Replying to @KeeperColl 1 Fermentation is the gold method for Lambrusco: 100% sweet must gives birth 2 the freshest product! Future! #SommChat

KeeperCollection @KeeperColl @ChiarliModena Tommaso, in what ways has #CletoChiarli changed the most from its inception? How has it remained the same? #SommChat

Chiarli Modena @ChiarliModena Replying to @KeeperColl Initially locally consumed, since the 50s exported globally! #Lambrusco traditionally bottle fermented, now high tech Charmat tank #SommChat

KeeperCollection @KeeperColl Q fr #SommChat #Somm So I am reading here that @ChiarliModena can pair well w/ #Italian #Thai #Japanese #foods what abt #French R #US Steak?

Chiarli Modena @ChiarliModena Replying to @KeeperColl #Lambrusco #Grasparossa is a gr8 product for such dishes. Marination on steaks milded by the acidity and tannins of this fun fizz #SommChat

KeeperCollection @KeeperColl Q fr #SommChat #Somm do most of @ChiarliModena #wines stay in #Italy or get imported and where besides #US Tommaso? #CletoChiarli

Chiarli Modena @ChiarliModena Replying to @KeeperColl high quality Lambrusco from #CletoChiarli is mostly consumed in Italy. But we see a positive trend in export markets. In addition to US, we export to Japan and Scandinavia #SommChat

KeeperCollection @KeeperColl Q fr #SommChat #Somm how much aging is required for @ChiarliModena #wines in the cellar - is it due to laws R choice at #CletoChiarli ?
