A bend of 70% Corvina and 30% Rondinella grape that cold macerate for 8-10 hours to the mature on the lees for three months. The wine has a classic, clear pink color and a bouquet of aromatic herbs and balsamic hints that at times are even spicy. The mouthfeel is pure tension, a demonstration that, as Peretti said, “the wines of Lake Garda are mountain wines” at least in regard to soil.
The tasting also saw the surprise presentation of the Garda estate’s latest experiment, a prototype of a sparking Chiaretto made using the Ancestral Method, something new to discover.
