Santa Sofia Bardolino Chiaretto Classico 750 ML

Grape varieties: Corvina (55%), Rondinella (30%) and Molinara (15%) vinified according to the rosé winemaking method, whereby the must briefly macerates with the grape skins. Ageing: In stainless steel tanks. Approximately 3 months in the bottle. Sensory impressions: A brilliant coral red wine with strong copper hues, its nose is gracefully reminiscent of fresh herbs, oregano and marjoram, leading on to more fruity notes of raspberry, sour cherry and pomegranate, and a mineral, almost marine finish. The palate is harmonious and pleasant, smooth and mellow at first, then becoming more vibrant, spiced up by a fresh hint of raspberry, and finishing dynamically on long, delightfully bitter citrus notes of chinotto oranges. Recommended food pairings: An extremely versatile wine, it pairs well with a variety of dishes, from oily fish and vegetable entrées to pasta with tomato and white meat of shellfish sauce; it is perfect with a Caprese salad, the traditional Neapolitan pizza with anchovies, any smoked fish or meat carpaccio and prosciutto and melon salad. Also excellent with paella and any spicy Indian dish, such as curried chicken. Longevity: Preferably to drink young (within 1 to 2 years).
