Other objects such as amphorae used to store wine from the Roman era also attest to&nbsp;<strong>winemaking\u2019s age-old story here.<\/strong>&nbsp;In the Middle Ages, religious institutions encouraged agriculture &#8211; specifically that of vines and olive trees &#8211; by offering rent in kind to those who cultivated the lands belonging to monasteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet it wasn\u2019t until the&nbsp;<strong>19<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century that the name of Bardolino began to be associated with these wines,&nbsp;<\/strong>and it wasn\u2019t until the first decades of the 1900s that they began to demand a following, winning several prizes such as that of the Trade Fair of Veronese in the 1920s. Within a decade, bottles of Bardolino began leaving the shores of Italy for exportation to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Declared a DOC in 1968<\/strong>, a consortium for the protection of the wine was founded one year later, and was followed by a viticultural reorganization and replanting of the vineyards from 2002-2005. Over the past decade,&nbsp;<strong>the wines of Bardolino have received numerous awards&nbsp;<\/strong>including those of Gambero Rosso, Decanter World Wine Awards, James Suckling, Annuario dei Migliori Vini Italiani, the WH Award, and the Paris Wine Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bardolino Blend Grape Varieties<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main grape variety used in the production of Bardolino is&nbsp;<strong>Corvina Veronese, an indigenous vine from the area that is pressed immediately after harvest.<\/strong>&nbsp;The grapes are known for their&nbsp;<strong>particular ability to adapt to the various soils of the lands<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 typically clay, sand, and pebbles \u2013 interpreting the terroir with notes that are fruity and spicy with a distinct sensation of fresh tanginess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blend is regulated, stipulating that&nbsp;<strong>Corvina Veronese can account for up to 95% with the remaining 5% coming from other local grapes<\/strong>&nbsp;such as Rondinella, Veronese Cultivar, Corvinone, and Molinara.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4376.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4377.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4383.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item4 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4380.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_2  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item5 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4379.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                <\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div id=\"tdi_2\" class=\"td-gallery td-slide-on-2-columns\">\r\n                    <div class=\"post_td_gallery\">\r\n                        <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-top\">\r\n                           <div class=\"td-gallery-title\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"td-gallery-controls-wrapper\">\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-count\"><span class=\"td-gallery-slide-item-focus\">1<\/span> of 5<\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-prev-next-but\">\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-left doubleSliderPrevButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-right doubleSliderNextButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n                        <div class = \"td-doubleSlider-1 \">\r\n                            <div class = \"td-slider\">\r\n                                \r\n                    <div class = \"td-slide-item td-item1\">\r\n                        <figure class=\"td-slide-galery-figure td-slide-popup-gallery\">\r\n                            <a class=\"slide-gallery-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4376.jpg\" title=\"IMG_4376\" data-caption=\"The lake offers stunning villas and luxury stays\" data-description=\"\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4376.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4376.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4376-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4376-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4376-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4376-696x466.jpg 696w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px;

The most northern and inland area is that of&nbsp;<strong>Montebaldo<\/strong>&nbsp;where higher altitudes meet a fluvio-glacial plain in a location that benefits from more noticeable thermal excursions and high levels of rain. These wines typically show nuances of strawberry and clove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another subzone is that of&nbsp;<strong>La Rocca.<\/strong>&nbsp;Bordered on the north by the hills of La Rocca and Mount Luppia, these vineyards grow on the finer soils of the morainic hills close to the lake with newer growing areas spreading further inland, offering wines that have notes of raspberry and cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third subzone is known as&nbsp;<strong>Sommacampagna<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 the area that experiences the highest average temperatures and the most rainfall. Vineyard plots pop up in hilly areas and tiny valleys, dotted with terraces, basins, and moraines. These wines display flavors of cherry and black pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the Vineyard and Winery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bardolino production is highly regulated. In the vineyard,&nbsp;<strong>yields are strictly controlled&nbsp;<\/strong>with a maximum of 12,000 kilos per hectare for the Bardolino DOC and 10,000 kilos per hectare for those from the subzones of Montebaldo, La Rocca, and Sommacampagna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the cellar,&nbsp;<strong>methods must create ruby red wines<\/strong> with a dry, tangy, and well-balanced flavor.&nbsp;Those from the three subzones must also be clear and bright with flavors that are dry, tangy, and harmonious with a bouquet that renders fresh berry fruit and spices, with a hint of floral or herbs. These wines cannot be enriched with must and can only be released starting from 1st&nbsp;September of the year following their harvest, although, in reality, many producers leave their wines to mature much longer than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4405.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4382.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4388.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item4 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4397-2.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item5 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4372.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                    #tdi_3  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item6 {\r\n                        background: url(https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4392.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat;\r\n                    }\r\n                <\/style>\r\n\r\n                <div id=\"tdi_3\" class=\"td-gallery td-slide-on-2-columns\">\r\n                    <div class=\"post_td_gallery\">\r\n                        <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-top\">\r\n                           <div class=\"td-gallery-title\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"td-gallery-controls-wrapper\">\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-count\"><span class=\"td-gallery-slide-item-focus\">1<\/span> of 6<\/div>\r\n                                <div class=\"td-gallery-slide-prev-next-but\">\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-left doubleSliderPrevButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                    <i class = \"td-icon-right doubleSliderNextButton\"><\/i>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n\r\n                        <div class = \"td-doubleSlider-1 \">\r\n                            <div class = \"td-slider\">\r\n                                \r\n                    <div class = \"td-slide-item td-item1\">\r\n                        <figure class=\"td-slide-galery-figure td-slide-popup-gallery\">\r\n                            <a class=\"slide-gallery-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4405.jpg\" title=\"IMG_4405\" data-caption=\"The famous red and ros\u00e9 wines of the area\" data-description=\"\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4405.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4405.jpg 920w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4405-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4405-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/IMG_4405-696x461.jpg 696w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 920px;

For a red with a higher ABV and bolder characteristics, there is the Bardolino Superiore DOCG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The region\u2019s ros\u00e9 wines are known as Chiaretto DOC, offering a dry, fresh, harmonious profile, highlighted by notes of ripe berries with a light hint of spice.<\/strong>&nbsp;Bardolino Chiaretto Classico must be grown in the town and encompassing villages of Bardolino itself and is considered to be the best of the Chiaretto DOC. These ros\u00e9s are generally still though a lightly bubbly Chiaretto Spumante is also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pairings for Bardolino<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bardolino reds make for fairly versatile wines when it comes to food pairings<\/strong>. Locally they are served with typical dishes such as lake <a href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/en\/recipe-seared-blue-lobster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fish<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/en\/pairing-wine-with-risotto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">risottos<\/a>.
