Chiaretto Di Bardolino DOC Classico Infinito

A traditional rosé version of Bardolino, made by fermenting at low temperatures, following brief contact of the must with the skins.
VARIETIES
Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara and Corvinone.
PRODUCTION ZONE
Selected vineyards in the municipalities of Bardolino and Cavaion, in the central-northeastern DOC area.
ALTITUDE AND ASPECT
The vineyards are located at altitudes between 100 and 150 metres above sea level and face mainly south-west.
TYPE OF SOIL
Stony, medium-textured morainic soil with gravel. The cool, breezy climate ensures a balanced production of sound, ripe grapes.
TRAINING SYSTEM
Pergola veronese and Guyot.
HARVEST
The grapes are handpicked towards the end of September.
WINEMAKING METHOD
After soft pressing of intact bunches, the grapes are subjected to cold skin maceration in the press. Once the desired colour is obtained, the free run juice is racked and vinified very slowly at a controlled temperature (max 12° C) with cultured yeasts of the production area. This vinification which leaves bunches whole promotes the intensity of aromas and taste.
AGEING
Aged in steel, at low temperatures (max. 10 °C) and always protected from oxidation. The wine is bottled very early (by the end of January) to preserve its freshness.
