GORGO di Roberta Bricolo Chiaretto Rosato di Bardolino - Veneto 2024/25 Bottle - ORG

Description

This wine offers a delightful expression of this traditional rosé from the shores of Lake Garda. With its inviting pale, brilliant pink hue, this vintage promises immediate charm. The nose is elegantly perfumed with delicate notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, and rose petals, interwoven with a hint of fresh almond.

On the palate, it is wonderfully crisp and dry, showcasing a vibrant acidity that perfectly balances its subtle red berry fruit and a light, savoury character. A refreshing minerality leads to a clean, persistent finish, making it exceptionally enjoyable. This quintessential Chiaretto is an ideal aperitif and a fantastic companion to light appetisers, freshwater fish, white meats, and summer salads.

A wide and temperate agricultural region stretching from Venice to Verona and north to the Alpine foothills. In the west around Lake Garda, are the important generic wines - Valpolicella, Soave and Bardolino. Much of Italy's commercial Pinot Grigio and Merlot is grown further east, but the Glera grape makes the region's distinctly fashionable sparkling wine, Prosecco. However the recent popularity of Amarone and Ripasso has really re-established this region as one of Italy best wine growing areas and quality is out of all recognition from the light carafe wines of the early 80's.

Gorgo was established in 1973 in the village of Custoza. Originally only 22 hectares, the estate now stretches over 60 hectares in the ‘Bianco di Custoza’ and ‘Bardolino’ production areas. The estate is owned and managed by Roberta Bricolo with a skilled viticultural team who have been in place for nearly 30 years. All the wines are hand-crafted and of very high quality. The light, white soils of the region are full of pebbles and silt rich in calcium which gives the wines a distinctive mineral character.
