Chiarli returns to Paris after 126 years

126 years after taking part in the 1900 Universal Exhibition — when Lambrusco di Sorbara Vecchia Modena Premium earned the Mention Honorable — the historic Modena winery returns to the French capital for its first appearance at Wine Paris.

A symbolic return to a city that marked a defining step in the company's international opening: active since 1860, it is today a reference point for Lambrusco di Sorbara and Grasparossa, grown between Modena and Reggio Emilia.

The bond with France has been documented since 1920 and consolidated from the 1950s through widespread distribution. Today the French market represents between 400,000 and 500,000 bottles per year, with growth of 10–15% over the last five years. The presence is focused on restaurants and specialised wine shops, particularly in the Paris area, in addition to major retailers Carrefour and Leclerc.
