Bardolino Classico, Le Tende (75cl)

An award winning, organic Bardolino Classico obtained from hand picked grapes grown in the heart of the Bardolino appellation, the "classico" area, with a fruity, slightly spiced, nose. On the palate the wine is fruity, medium bodied, smooth, lively, with a never ending finish of red cherry. This Bardolino Classico is a vegan friendly wine.

Bardolino is often seen as the second choice when compared to Valpolicella due to the many similarities, from the grapes allowed to the closeness of the appellations, however, when properly made Bardolino can be a great alternative, a versatile red wine, a perfect accompaniment to pasta or pizza or to drink on its own over some tarallini.

Our Bardolino Classico has been selected by "Gambero Rosso" as the best red wines to enjoy chilled.
