Zenato Bardolino Chiaretto

Zenato Bardolino Chiaretto 2022

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.

Acclaim
The 2024 Bardolino Chiaretto Rosato entices with a spicy mix of ginger-laced peaches and sweet smoke. It sweeps across the palate with juicy textures and ripe orchard fruits as nuances of candied lime add lovely contrast. The 2024 cleans up beautifully, long yet fresh, as hints of white strawberry fade on the close. — Vinous, Jul 2025
