Zeni 1870, Vigne Alte, Chiaretto di Bardolino Classico, Veneto, Italy 2022

‘Classico’ designates the historic area of the Bardolino district, which develops around the homonymous lakeside municipality. Here are the vineyards owned by Zeni 1870, partly still trained using the pergola system. The Corvina-Rondinella combination gives rise to this traditional Chiaretto, with hints of peach blossom, citrus and violet; dry, harmonious and lively on the palate. The winery is experimenting with vinification of Chiaretto in amphorae.
