Bardolino Chiaretto Rosato Gorgo 2020 Bardolino Chiaretto Rosato Gorgo 2020 Region 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. Producer 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. Tasting Notes A fresh, fun and fruity rose from the Veneto region of Italy. Made from the classic grapes of the region; Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. The nose has delicious aromas of summer fruits which follow onto the palate with notes of red cherries, strawberries and raspberries combined with a fresh, floral note and a crisp acidity. Food It should be enjoyed chilled on its own or to accompany cold meats or sushi.

  • Wines of Veneto
    ITALY Viva Veneto! THE DIVERSE WINE REGION IN NORTHEASTERN ITALY IS WORTH DISCOVERING story and photos by Allison Levine amous for the canals of Venice, renowned for the architecture of Palladio and fabled for star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, the Veneto region, in north- Feastern Italy, is equally celebrated for the fruit of the vine. Five of the region’s seven provinces produce wine: Verona, Vicenza, Padua, Treviso and Venice. With 25 DOCs and 11 DOCGs, the Veneto is responsible for producing 20% of all Italian DOC wines. A recent trip to the region was spent exploring and learning about the provinces and their wines, ranging from familiar names such as Prosecco, Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone, to lesser-known wines such as Bardolino, Raboso, Tai Rosso, Lison and many others. There are also many international varietals grown in the region, but below we honor some of the indigenous wines in each province. Verona Some of the region’s most recognized wines come from the province of Verona. The Soave area, which includes Soave DOC and two DOCGs (Soave Recioto and Soave Superiore), holds the largest vineyard expanse in Europe, with 6,500 hectares planted. Made with at least 65% Garganega and up to 30% Trebbiano di Soave, Soave is a fragrant, fresh, medium-bodied wine. Antonio Bonotto and his wife on the family property that dates back at least 600 years in the small village of Tezze, situated on the left bank of the river Piave, south of Conegliano. Amarone: The Mistake that Succeeded The term recioto comes from recia (Venetian dialect for “ear”).

Third, the Veneto is a mostly in the “California Cult” tremendous value leader in Italian wine. area (too expensive to become a wine fad, really).

  • Veneto Valpolicella DOC Produced from 45-95% Corvina, Blended with Rondinella
    Veneto Valpolicella DOC Produced from 45-95% Corvina, blended with Rondinella. Other grapes of the region, such as Molinara, Negrara and Oseleta, up to 15% of the blend are permitted. Valpolicella “Superiore” show a rounder character, with a higher minimum alcohol and a minimum of one year of aging. Valpolicella Classico region is at the western end of the appellation, near the shores of Lake Garda, and consists of four “valleys, surrounding the communes of Fumane, Marano, Negrar, Sant'Ambrogio, and San Pietro in Cariano. Sub appellations also from the valleys of Valpantena and Illasi, Single vineyard (vigna) bottlings also exist. Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG Recioto della Valpolicella and Amarone della Valpolicella were finally approved for DOCG status in late 2009, and may labelled “Classico” or “Valpantena” if they originate in the respective areas. Made by the appassimento process; the grapes are dried for approximately 120 days (4months) in special chambers (fruttai), under controlled conditions thus concentrating sugars. & flavours ,. (Approx 30% of original weight) The appassimento process adds complex dried fruit flavours, & additional alcoholic potential to the resulting must. Following drying, (end of January/beginning of February,) the grapes are pressed and go through a dry low temperature fermentation which can last between 30/50 days. The reduced water content can slow down the fermentation process, increasing the risk of spoilage and potential wine faults such as high volatile acidity If fermentation is stopped early, the resulting wine will contain residual sugar (more than 4 grams of sugar per litre) and produce a sweeter wine known as Recioto della Valpolicella.
