Bardolino and Chiaretto 2015 Preview

For fans of the great Italian rosé wines, the appointment on Sunday, 8 March 2015 in Lazise, on the Veronese shore of Lake Garda, it is a must: it is the scene of a double, unprecedented, pink Preview.



In the historic Dogana Veneta hall, the Consortium for the Protection of Bardolino presents to the public Chiaretto of the 2014 vintage, son of the "Rosé Revolution" that led the producers of the traditional rosé of Garda to choose a much more tenuous color than in the past and a range of scents and flavors ranging from white flowers to citrus to medicinal herbs. In the nearby civic hall of the town hall is in Preview (already opening on Saturday, 7 March) another typical interpretation in pink of Italian wine: Rosato del Salento of the 2014 vintage.

Next to the two expressions of the great tradition of Italian rosé son of native grapes (Corvina Veronese for Chiaretto and Negroamaro for Salento), the 2014 vintage of Bardolino, the red wine of the hills of east Garda, is proposed in Preview, too.



The initiative comes from a collaboration between the Consortium of Bardolino, which in 2015 is in its seventh annual Preview, and the Degusto Salento association, which brings together some of the most prestigious wine signatures of Puglia, with the assistance of the Municipality of Lazise.



There will be about fifty companies (seventy those of Bardolino and fifteen of the Salento) for a total of two hundred wines presented by the producers to their stand, with free tasting from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.



In the harbour area, as is customary for the Bardolino Preview, a market of agricultural production in the area will be set up, from Monte Veronese cheese with honey, to cold meats with extra virgin olive oil.



«For the 2015 edition of our preview – the Chairman of the Consortium of Bardolino and Chiaretto, Franco Cristoforetti, says – we are pleased to host the producers of Salento. We share a great tradition of rose wine sons of extraordinary indigenous grapes and territories which see the vineyards appear to gorgeous water landscapes, as the sea of Puglia and our Lake Garda. Both we and our colleagues from Puglia – Cristoforetti concludes – care about the growth of the culture of native Italian rosé wines, and I am sure that this collaboration will help build a new important step in the discovery of the great wines in the discovery of great rosé wines of our Italy».
