Bardolino (wine)

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Bardolino is a type of Italian wine produced in the region surrounding the town of Bardolino, on the eastern shore of Lake Garda. The wine is named after the town, and the region is part of the larger Veneto wine region of northern Italy.

History[edit | edit source]

The production of Bardolino wine dates back to the Roman Empire, when the region was known for its quality wines. The name "Bardolino" is believed to derive from "Bardali", an ancient Germanic name, or possibly from the Latin "Bardus", meaning "bard".

Production[edit | edit source]

Bardolino wine is produced from a blend of grape varieties including Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. The wine is typically light-bodied with a bright ruby color, and flavors of cherry, strawberry, and almond.

The region is known for its unique terroir, with a mix of clay, limestone, and morainic gravel soils. The proximity to Lake Garda provides a mild climate, ideal for viticulture.

Classification[edit | edit source]

Bardolino wine is classified under the Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) system, which guarantees the quality and geographical origin of the wine. There are also two higher classifications: Bardolino Superiore, which requires a higher alcohol content and aging, and Bardolino Chiaretto, a rosé wine.

Food pairing[edit | edit source]

Bardolino wine is versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. It is often served with traditional Italian dishes such as pasta, pizza, and risotto. It also complements seafood, poultry, and cheese.
