2024 Le Morette Bardolino Chiaretto Classico Rosato, Veneto, Italy

ABOUT THE WINE
This classic rosato is made in the traditional Bardolino Chiaretto style, blending Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara from vineyards in the heart of the Classico zone near Lake Garda. The 2024 vintage reflects a cool, balanced growing season, contributing to the wine’s aromatic precision and vibrant freshness. After a short skin maceration to achieve its signature pale hue, the juice undergoes a cool fermentation in stainless steel to preserve purity and delicacy. Bottled young to highlight its freshness, the wine bursts with red currant, citrus zest, and herbal nuance. Perfect alongside prosciutto and melon, grilled prawns, Caprese salad, or simply as a chilled aperitivo.
