Description
What kind of wine is it
Corte Giara Chiaretto di Bardolino, produced by Allegrini, is a still rosé wine from Veneto with Denomination of Controlled Origin. It is made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, and presents itself as a fresh and harmonious wine, characterised by pleasant acidity and a juicy palate. Its production involves cryomaceration on the skins and fermentation in steel tanks, techniques that preserve its delicate fruity aromas.
Where does it come from
This wine originates in Veneto, on the eastern hills of Lake Garda, in the heart of the Chiaretto di Bardolino area. The vineyards are situated at around two hundred metres above sea level, with a sunny south-west exposure. The moraine soils of fluvio-glacial origin nourish the vines. The beneficial influence of the lake climate accompanies the ripening of the grapes, enhancing the expression of floral aromas and ensuring the lively savouriness on the palate that characterises the entire tasting experience.
How is it produced
Production begins in September with a careful manual harvest. This is followed by cryomaceration on the skins for twelve to twenty-four hours at low temperatures, a crucial step to extract the brilliant rosé hue and intense aromatic richness. After gentle pressing, the must undergoes ten days of fermentation in steel tanks. The subsequent winter malolactic fermentation gives the wine greater structural balance. The process concludes with ageing in steel for three months, the ideal environment to preserve the integrity and freshness of the fruit.
History and Curiosities
Born from the Allegrini family's passion for the Veneto region, Corte Giara combines tradition and innovation. This wine originates from the moraine hills of fluvio-glacial origin near Lake Garda, at around 200 metres above sea level. The 2025 vintage was characterised by favourable conditions, with late-season temperature variations preserving freshness and ensuring healthy, well-balanced grapes of high quality.
