Villabella Bardolino Chiaretto
Produced with Corvina and Rondinella grapes, from vineyards grown in the hinterland of Lake Garda. Traditionally Chiaretto is obtained by cold maceration of the must on the skins for a single night. Today, part of the must makes just a few hours maceration, in order to obtain a very light color. This wine should preferably be drunk within a year of the vintage. Has a pale pink colour. On the nose, citrus and floral notes accompanied by herbal hints reminiscent of sage. Good acidity and sapidity combined with a youthful fruitiness.
