Vinous and the Cleto Chiarli tasting in New York

Vinous is one of the leading international wine criticism platforms, a reference point in the United States for trade operators, importers and wine professionals. Founded by American critic Antonio Galloni, Vinous is appreciated for its independent and rigorous approach to tastings. A top authority on sparkling wines and historic denominations, Eric Guido is among the foremost experts on Italian wines in the USA. Last November he led a New York tasting dedicated to Italian sparkling wines, where Cleto Chiarli bottles achieved outstanding results. The wines were praised for precision, balance and fidelity to their varietal character and vintage. Vecchia Modena Nero Noir 2024 scored 92 points, while Vecchia Modena Premium 2024 and Lambrusco del Fondatore 2024 each earned 91. Non-vintage Lambrusco di Modena and Centenario Amabile confirmed the range's high quality with 90 points each, reinforcing Cleto Chiarli's position among the most authoritative, contemporary interpretations of Lambrusco.
