The wine region of Valtenesi
Lombardy DOC on the south-western shore of Lake Garda (Brescia province), glacial morainic hills less than 2 km from the lake, temperate Mediterranean climate, mild winters and breezy summers. Chiaretto Valtenesi is the signature rosé (≥50% Groppello): pale and floral with strawberry, raspberry, citrus, rose and spiced notes, lively acidity — aperitif of the Garda. Exclusive indigenous Groppello (thin skin) as fresh fruity red. Marzemino, Barbera, Sangiovese and Rebo as complements.
The wine region of Lombardia
Three poles. Franciacorta DOCG, Italy's answer to Champagne: elegant brioche traditional-method sparklers (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc), fine bubble and mineral profile. Alpine Valtellina: Nebbiolo (alias Chiavennasca) with fine tannins and red fruits, powerful Sforzato passito. Oltrepò Pavese: fresh Pinot Noir and fruity-sparkling Bonarda.
The word of the wine: Bleeding
Old practice for red wines. As soon as the vat is filled with grapes, the tap is opened. A sweet but clear juice escapes from the vat (it can also be used to make rosé). The colour and density of the juice is enhanced, but it should not be overdone. Rarely more than 10% of the volume of a vat, otherwise you risk losing fruit and bringing in bitterness.
