Bardolino Chiaretto Cavalchina 2024

Bardolino Chiaretto Cavalchina is a rosé wine with a pleasant freshness and youthfulness, boasting a classic, delicate and inviting claret pink color. It is produced on the shores of Lake Garda by blending the most celebrated Veneto grapes: Corvina, Molinara, and Rondinella. In the past, Chiaretto was produced using the saignée method, which involved removing a portion of the Bardolino must during maceration and vinifying it as a white wine, which, however, reduced the aromatic expression. Today, the grapes destined for this type of wine are harvested two weeks earlier than for Bardolino Rosso, and as with this wine, the must undergoes a 12-hour pre-fermentation maceration before being drained naturally and clarified. After a brief period on the lees, it is bottled in December and released for sale shortly thereafter.
