Zenato Bardolino Chiaretto

Bardolino Chiaretto DOC bottle image

Wine Description

Chiaretto is based on the same grapes as Bardolino. During vinification, the juice is allowed to macerate briefly on the skins which releases a small amount of pigment and aromatic compounds.  This crucial step gives the Zenato rosato its characteristic fresh red fruit aromas.
