Giovanna Tantini Bardolino Chiaretto DOC Bardolino Chiaretto, 2021

Bardolino Chiaretto is a rosé wine made on the shore of Lake Garda in the west of the Veneto region. The Tantini estate, perched on the southern moraine of the lake at Castelnuovo del Garda and Sona, has 11.5 hectares of vineyards on deep, glacial alluvial soils with deep gravel over limestone. Giovanna Tantini gave up her career as a lawyer to look after the vineyard inherited from her father. Giovanna personally oversees every aspect of production, in both the vineyard and winery. Pale in colour, her 2021 Chiaretto was quite closed at the time of tasting with some savoury winey notes. It is light mid palate with a marked crisp acidity.
