Rosé from Italy

The extremely flavoursome rosé classic from Lake Garda: Chiaretto Bardolino is floral, sweet and nuanced in the glass, with notes of wild strawberries and candied citrus fruits. It is soft and supple, with a brilliant acidity that maintains balance and crisp red fruits that resonate beneath the rosy inner flowers. Lasts an impressively long time and remains completely refreshing. A subtle hint of minerality remains. Excellent as an aperitif and with light dishes as well as a summery accompaniment in the afternoon. SUPERIORE.DE

Campirosa Cerasuolo only gradually unfolds its fresh strawberry and cherry flavours, which are adorned with sweet flowers.

Campirosa is already a charming favourite when young, but can also mature for another year in the cellar. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2023 Rosato Tre Torri, 100% Carignano, is extremely charming. It is ruby red in colour in the glass and captivates from start to finish with its lively cherry berry fruit and the juiciness of blood orange. A hint of dusty, peppery tannin emerges towards the end and leaves you with the feeling of having eaten a slice of watermelon at a picnic table on a hot day - the juice runs down your chin. This is summer in a glass." Vinous

Keya is the impressive result of several years of experimental work, resulting in a rosato from 50-year-old vines that perfectly expresses the style and personality of the Rizzardi vineyards in the hills above Bardolino. The label is a tribute to the Venetian heritage of Contessa M.C. Loredan, who ran the winery for many years and played a key role in making Chiaretto Bardolino a popular wine classic in the region.

Spicy and floral on the nose, it develops aromas of rose petals, leather, tea leaves, strawberries and cherries.
