Villa Cialdini is the main house of the Azienda Agricola Castelvetro, an estate southeast of Modena that has been owned by the Chiarli family since 1860. Cousins Anselmo and Mauro Chiarli, who manage the family company, started the Castelvetro project in 2002. Their idea - ambitious today, let alone in 2002 - was to build a state of the art winery to produce top quality Lambrusco. They spent a year renovating the winery and then, using the property’s old vineyards, began production in 2003. The estate is comprised of 70 hectares, of which 52 are planted to vine on the undulating alluvial deposits typical of the Padana plain. On the whole, the weather conditions of the 2019 vintage allowed grapes to ripen gradually reaching a good balance between acidity and sugar levels. There was some rain in May, which replenished water reserves and supported the grapes through the growing season. Summertime was hot and humid but with cool night temperatures which have allowed the grapes to maintain more acidity and a good aromatic profile. This wine is straw yellow in colour with youthful highlights. There are distinctive aromas of pear, apple and light floral notes, which are enhanced by its fine and persistent bubbles. It has bright acidity on the palate with a characteristically refreshing finish.
