Event Overview

The New York Times recently published an article on the rediscovery of Lambrusco, a unique fizzy wine from the heart of Emilia-Romagna. Once known as an overly-sweet sparkler, Lambrusco is now making a comeback, but this time, tradition and quality reign. One Lambrusco producer in particular, Cleto Chiarli, is on a mission to reintroduce the world to the wonderful grape. The Chiarli family has been making wine for over 150 years, making it the oldest wine-producing company in Emilia-Romagna, and today, Cleto Chiarli is one of the largest producers of Lambrusco in the world.

In this exclusive class, Tommaso Chiarli, a fifth-generation winemaker from the Cleto Chiarli estate, will join the Chef of La Scuola for a class focused on Emilia-Romagna's wonderful cuisine and the wines from his family's vineyards. Lambrusco ranges from dry to tart--only a few are sweet--but no matter type, these sparkling wines pair perfectly with food. You'll enjoy three dishes from the region paired with six Cleto Chiarli wines. Each guest will receive recipes as well as wine notes to take home.

EATALY Manifesto

1. WE'RE IN LOVE WITH FOOD.
We love high-quality food and drink. We love the stories about it, the people who produce it, and the places it comes from.

2. FOOD UNITES US ALL.
Good food brings all of us together and helps us find a common point of view.
We believe that one of the greatest sources of joy is what happens around the dinner table.

3. OUR PASSION HAS BECOME OUR JOB.
We've dedicated our daily lives to promoting a real understanding of high-quality food and drink. How lucky are we that we get to do what we love?

4. THE SECRET TO QUALITY OF LIFE? QUALITY PRODUCTS.
By creating and offering the best products, we improve our own lives and bring added value to yours.
Enter a world dedicated to quality: that means quality food, quality drink, and ultimately, quality time.

5. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS EVERYONE.
Whether you're here to buy a loaf of bread, prepare for a lavish dinner, or sit down to enjoy a meal, we want this to be your place. We want you to be comfortable, happy, and enriched by every visit.

6. EAT. SHOP. LEARN.
This is a store with stories. Here, you won't just discover what you love: you'll also learn about what you love.

7. WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER.
What you choose every day determines what we'll stock on our shelves over time. When you demand quality products, you support the local farmers, fishermen, butchers, bakers, and cheesemakers who produce them. You create a better environment—for eating and beyond.

* Knowledge: We feel that it's not just important that we know everything about what we sell and serve but that you also learn about the products we are so passionate about. We share with you the stories of the people and places behind all that we offer. The more you know, the more you enjoy.

9. YOUR TRUST IS EARNED EVERY DAY.
In all ways, we promise to be scrupulously honest. We'll never encourage you to buy more than you need or spend more than you can afford.

10. THE END GOAL.
Our goal is to have you as our customer for a lifetime. The easiest means to that end is to offer the best food and drink, as well as the best environment in which to discover and expand your tastes.

On that note, we look forward to seeing you again very soon!
