The Bardolino Classico Superiore DOCG 2022 from the Zeni 1870 winery is the noblest and most structured expression of the red wines born on the Veronese shores of Lake Garda. Unlike the vintage version, this wine boasts the prestigious DOCG designation and the Superiore mention, which certify a careful selection of grapes in the vineyard and a longer aging period. The result is a nectar that retains the typical freshness of the territory, while being enriched with superior complexity and elegance.
Produced from a traditional blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, grown in the ancient heart of the Classico area, it presents in the glass with an intense and brilliant ruby-red color. On the nose, it releases an enveloping and clean bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruit—such as cherry and plum—blend with delicate black pepper spice and slightly floral nuances.
On the palate, it surprises with its balance: the sip is full, soft, and supported by a subtle and velvety tannic texture. The typical mineral sapidity, given by the morainic soils of Garda, provides a pleasant persistence and an incredibly clean finish. It is a highly drinkable red wine with extraordinary gastronomic versatility: it pairs perfectly with first courses with meat sauces, flavorful risottos, roasts, grilled meats, and medium-aged cheeses. Bring the excellence of Verona to your table with the unmistakable signature of one of the historic families of Italian wine.
