Bardolino is a wine produced from grapes grown in the hills surrounding Lake Garda in the Verona province of Veneto, Italy. It’s a lighter cousin to nearby Valpolicella, using the same grapes: primarily Corvina with small percentages of Molinara and Rondinella. This has lately expanded to Barbera, Sangiovese, Marzemino, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which can comprise up to 20% of the blend. It has been produced in some capacity in the region for centuries, as landlords changed hands from the Romans to the Venetians to the Austrians and finally back to a unified Italy. Medieval castles, churches and walkways still stand in the town of Bardolino.
Rosés come around just once a year. This is lamentable or not, depending on your opinion of them. With such a sudden influx, it’s imperative that I taste as many as possible as quickly as possible. This is the first round-up of rosés from the summer of...

This latter wine is (very loosely put) the beaujolais of Italy.This will introduce you to a small but meaningful fraction of the cornucopia of red wine that is Italy. And don't forget to look into the wonder white wines as well... Read More

It's close to "Sant'Orsola Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC 2011" in most characteristics but more fresh and bright. Read More

A tight little nose with notes of cherry blossoms, a touch of mineral water and some zingy raspberry nuances. In the mouth this is fairly fruit with plenty of refreshing acidity. It probably has a touch of RS supporting the vivid, orange-laced strawberry fruit, but all this acidity keeps the wine fresh and balanced. Cherries pop on the finish wi... Read More

This wine has great color in that it is deep garnet with a a brick colored rim. Ripe black berries, earthy, woodsy, dried ginseng and chinese Rhizoma roots make up a aromatic nose. Similar flavors on the palate with medium tannins and a bittersweet aftertaste and medium finish with little acidity. Read More
