Bardolino Superiore
Bardolino Superiore is a wine designation of origin (DOCG) from the Veneto region in Italy. It is a higher-quality version of the standard Bardolino wine, produced in a specific geographical area around the town of Bardolino, on the eastern shore of Lake Garda.
History[edit | edit source]
The Bardolino Superiore DOCG was established in 2001, upgrading the status of the Bardolino wine which had been recognized as a DOC since 1968. The "Superiore" designation indicates a higher quality level, with stricter production regulations and a longer aging period.
Production[edit | edit source]
Bardolino Superiore is produced from a blend of grape varieties that must include between 35% and 65% Corvina, up to 40% Rondinella, and up to 20% other authorized varieties such as Molinara and Merlot. The wine must be aged for at least one year before it can be released, and it must have a minimum alcohol content of 12%.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Bardolino Superiore is a medium-bodied red wine with a bright ruby color. It has a delicate and fruity aroma, with notes of cherry, strawberry, and spices. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious, and slightly bitter, with a good balance between acidity and tannins.
Food pairing[edit | edit source]
Bardolino Superiore pairs well with a variety of dishes, including pasta, risotto, grilled meats, and cheeses. It is also excellent with traditional Veneto dishes such as polenta and risi e bisi.
