The area where the Bardolino wine is produced, once limited to the fields surrounding the town this wine takes its name from, extends today into the adjacent areas including altogether fifteen municipalities. The vineyards given over to the production of our Bardolino DOC Classico, Bardolino DOCG Classico Superiore and Bardolino Chiaretto Classico stretch across the slopes of the hills along the shore of Lake Garda, exactly where the Classico area, the most ancient portion of the wine region, is located. In this fertile stretch of land we grow Corvina and Rondinella, the red grape-varieties from which our Bardolino wine is obtained. This special blend of grapes is also used – in different proportions – for producing the other prestigious Veronese red wine, Valpolicella. The Corvina grape provides body and colour to the wine, whereas Rondinella is responsible for its typical, herbal and savoury character.
