Description

A unique expression of Bardolino Chiaretto that combines seasonings, minerality, complexity and drinkability in a rosé wine modern and old at the same time. The first rosé fermented and aged in barrels in the Bardolino area, Chiar’Otto changed the way of thinking about rosé in Bardolino. The vines for Chiar ‘ Otto are located on a hill just above the village of Bardolino: they have been planted in 1966 and they are in Pergola veronese, a local trail system. The name Chiar‘ Otto comes from the italian name “Chiara” who, along with Daniele, is the hearth of Villa Calicantus, and “Otto”, the italian translation of number 8, that is the number of the month in which Anna, the daughter of Chiara and Daniele, born.

From this winery
Villa Calicantus is a small biodynamic winery in Calmasino, in the heart of Bardolino Classico, just a stone’s throw from the southeastern shore of Lake Garda. We are Chiara and Daniele Delaini: we work 8 hectares of vineyards and produce between 30,000 and 40,000 bottles annually, depending on the climatic conditions of the vintage. Our vineyards are located on three of the best hills of Bardolino, where, not far from Lake Garda, we cultivate the native Verona grapes, Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, to produce 5 wines that aim to be 5 authentic and unique expressions of these grapes and their terroir.

Our viticulture is of high quality: all our hard work in the vineyard is focused on the well-being and balance of the vines, to obtain grapes capable of producing long-lasting and complex wines. Respect for the vine and the soil, uncompromising work in the vineyard, and long aging in the cellar allow us to produce unique wines that tell the story of the territory, the grape varieties, and the vintage from which they come. Our goal is to put Bardolino back on the map of great Italian wines, through a rediscovery of the true, forgotten identity of a wine with immense potential.
