It is made from a classic Bardolino blend, primarily featuring \u003cstrong\u003eCorvina and Rondinella\u003c\/strong\u003e, with small percentages of other native varietals. It is a light-bodied and harmonious wine, designed to be enjoyed for its freshness and immediacy, yet also capable of surprising with its finesse and balance.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2023 vintage was characterized by balanced weather, with warm but not extreme summers and a good temperature range between day and night. This combination favored optimal grape maturation, enhancing fragrant aromas and good natural acidity. The result is a lively Bardolino, with a clear fruity profile and an irresistible drinkability, ideal for those seeking a fresh and genuine red.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 'Soracuna' comes from three different vineyard plots cultivated using the \u003cstrong\u003eVeronese pergola system\u003c\/strong\u003e, a traditional local training method that protects the bunches and ensures uniform ripening. Fermentation is \u003cstrong\u003espontaneous\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning it occurs thanks to the yeasts naturally present on the grape skins, without the addition of selected yeasts: a choice that enhances the territory's identity. After maceration on the skins, the wine ages for about 6 months in concrete tanks, a material that allows for slow evolution without influencing the taste with woody aromas. The result is an authentic, pure, and immediate Bardolino.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant ruby red\u003c\/strong\u003e with violet reflections, a sign of its youth and vitality.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe aroma is fresh and inviting, dominated by notes of \u003cstrong\u003ecrisp cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petals\u003c\/strong\u003e.
