One of the southernmost moraines of the Bardolino district hosts the vines of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara used for this Chiaretto. It's the result of a traditional white wine vinification with a short cold-maceration in contact with the skins, then a long fermentation in steel. With wild rose and hints of citrus on the nose, it’s mineral in character with good structure and a slightly tannic finish. A typically fresh Chiaretto, ideal for the summer.

Bright apple and subtle creamy cherry aromas. Mineral and fresh in the mouth, with citrus, apple and ripe red fruits. Light and zesty; crisp and fresh. A great barbecue rosé with more character than most from Provence at this price.
