What kind of wine is Bardolino Classico Chiaretto DOC 'Chiar'otto' 2024 - Villa Calicantus?
The Bardolino Classico Chiaretto DOC 'Chiar'otto' 2024 - Villa Calicantus perfectly represents the style of rosé from Lake Garda: a wine that combines the freshness of a white with the fruity delicacy and light structure of a red. It is a rosé of great authenticity, born on the hills surrounding Lake Garda, where the temperate microclimate and morainic soils yield wines of rare finesse. Ideal for those seeking a lively and refined wine, perfect for aperitifs or to accompany light dishes.Vintage details
The 2024 vintage was characterized by regular climatic conditions, with mild temperatures and well-distributed rainfall. These conditions favored a slow and complete ripening of the grapes, ensuring an ideal balance between freshness and fruity aromas. The limited yield per hectare allowed for a concentrated and high-quality must, from which an harmonious and clean Chiaretto is born.Winemaking and aging
The 'Chiar'otto' is produced with a short period of skin maceration (a technique known as "saignée"), which allows for the extraction of a delicate color and subtle aromas typical of the best rosés. Villa Calicantus was the first winery in Bardolino to ferment and age its Chiaretto in wood: a choice that gives greater complexity to the wine, without sacrificing its natural freshness. After a few months on the lees in barrels, the wine is bottled to preserve its fragrance and harmony.Tasting notes
