Product information on "Bardolino Superiore Classico DOCG from the Le Tende winery on Lake Garda"
The Bardolino Superiore Classico DOCG from the Le Tende winery impressively shows how much character and depth can be found in the hills around Lake Garda. Compared to the classic Bardolino, this Superiore version presents itself as significantly more structured, complex, and mature – without losing its typically elegant lightness.
In the glass, the wine shines with a clear ruby red with garnet reflections. The bouquet is delicate and multifaceted: ripe cherries, red currants, and plums meet subtle spicy notes, accompanied by a slightly balsamic hint and subtle herbal undertones. Nothing seems loud – everything is precisely and harmoniously interwoven.
On the palate, the Bardolino Superiore is dry, balanced, and surprisingly profound. The fruit remains juicy, the tannins are soft and well integrated, and the acidity provides freshness and drinkability. The aging gives the wine additional structure and length, without masking its origin. The finish is elegant, delicately spicy, and pleasantly persistent – typical Bardolino, but with more substance.
The vinification involves gentle maceration, followed by several months of aging to develop structure and complexity. It is precisely this tranquility and precision that make it one of the most exciting red wines from the southeastern Lake Garda region.
