Le Fraghe, Ròdon, Chiaretto di Bardolino, Veneto, Italy 2022

‘The mount, the lake and the river’ – this is how Matilde Poggi presents her winery, located in Cavaion Veronese, which benefits from the protection of the mountains and the microclimate of the Val d’Adige. Scents of citrus fruits, apricots and wild strawberries for this organic blend of Corvina and Rondinella, with maceration on the skins for 6-8 hours and maturation on fine lees. On the palate it expresses a perfect balance between savoury flavours and a tasty minerality, with excellent supporting tannins and acidity.
