CHIARETTO DI BARDOLINO
CLASSICO
GRAPES AND VINIFICATION:
Produced with Corvina and Rondinella grapes, from vineyards grown in the hinterland of the lake, in the province of Verona. . Traditionally Chiaretto is obtained by cold maceration of the must on the skins for a single night. Today, part of the must makes just a few hours maceration, in order to obtain a very light colour. This wine should preferably be drunk within a year of the vintage.
TASTING NOTE:
It has a pale pink colour. On the nose, citrus and floral notes accompanied by herbal hints reminiscent of sage. Good acidity and sapidity combined with a youthful fruitiness.
