2021 Le Morette Bardolino Classico, Veneto, Italy

ABOUT THIS WINE
For fans of Oregon Pinot Noir and the "Vin de Soif" craze, this one's for you. A Light-bodied wine with low tannins, this delicate red wine is full of flavor. A classic blend of indigenous grapes. The majority is Corvina which adds the earthy/black pepper notes complementing tart red fruits of strawberry, cherry, and pomegranate. This Classic expression from Bardolino is perfect with a little chill and offers a hint of blood orange in an energetic finish. We just can't get enough.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Less than a mile from the beautiful southern shoreline of lake Garda, Le Morette uses only the best estate fruit. The winery derives its name from a local duck, sacred to the ancient Etruscans, still protected, and highly regarded today. The family’s expertise with the unique glacial soils around lake Garda helps exemplify the flavor and character of their native varieties: the historic white grape, Turbiana (related to Verdicchio), and the classic red grapes in Bardolino, Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. Fabio and his brother Paolo are creating some of the most compelling examples of these native grapes with organic practices, affiliated with World Biodiversity Association.
